VSB, in conjunction with BITC, is organising a day of voluntary action on Friday 19 March entitled “Be a Saint – Volunteer!”

This event encourages employers to release their employees (in teams) to undertake volunteering projects in the Community.

Many local charities have already received valuable help with a range of practical work which otherwise may have cost them money.  Private and Public sector organisations are now realising that team volunteering brings the opportunity for their employees to ‘get together’ away from the usual work environment and use their skills and experience to help others.  Projects must be time limited to one day, be realistic in the nature of the work and offer a positive experience of “volunteering”. Past Projects have included: conservation / gardening work, decorating, mural painting and DIY.

If your organisation has a “challenge” which could be promoted as part of the Programme or if you would like advice on how to benefit contact Julie Cusick on 028 90 200 850 or email Julie@vsb.org.uk
