Do-it was launched in 2001 with the first national database of volunteering opportunities in the UK.

Do-it is part of the registered charity YouthNet, a non-profit-making organisation. We do not charge people to use the database as we believe that volunteering should be free to the user and so make a small charge to organisations registering their opportunities to ensure this.

Nominet Best Practice Challenge 2008

On 9 July 2008, Do-it was named the winner of the Open Internet category of the Nominet Best Practice Challenge, at a ceremony held at the Science Museum. 

Judges said that Do-it 'takes access to the Internet to another level and connects people who need help with people who want to help them.'

Posting opportunities

The majority of opportunities on Do-it come from local Volunteer Centres in England. These organisations have been provided with hardware, software and training so that they can upload their vacancies onto the do-it database.  In addition, some national organisations post their opportunities directly on to www.do-it.org.uk.  Read more about posting opportunities on Do-it.

Problems

If you have any problems with any of the opportunities that you find on Do-it then please contact the agency that supplied the data. This will be marked on each individual opportunity record and in the email you received if you registered and applied online.

If you have any other problems, then please contact us.
