We want do-it.org.uk to be as rich and diverse as possible, so it's important that as many organisations as possible post volunteering opportunities on our database. Different types of organisation can post in different ways.

National and regional organisations

If you are operating and recruiting volunteers in two counties or more or throughout the UK, you can apply for an Online Poster System account to enable you to manage your volunteering opportunities and upload them to do-it.org.uk.

We can only accept applications from the head office of a national or regional organisation. If you are a branch of a national organisation please ask your head office to apply.

Find out more about the Online Poster System, including prices and how to apply.

Alternatively, organisations could decide to buy V-Base, our volunteering management software that also enables easy uploading to do-it.org.uk.

Local branches of national organisations

Local branches of national organisations should either contact their local Volunteer Centre or ask their head office to apply for an Online Poster System account. A branch can then be given their own login facility.

Local organisations in England

Local organisations, recruiting volunteers in a specific geographic area, should get in touch with their local Volunteer Centre (VC) who will post opportunities on their behalf.

do-it.org.uk works in partnership with the Volunteer Centre Network within England, which uses V-Base, YouthNet's Volunteering Management software, to post opportunities online. To find your nearest VC, enter your postcode in the VC-Finder.

If there is no VC in your local area you can apply for an Online Poster System account.

Local organisations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Most Volunteer Centres outside England don't upload opportunities to do-it.org.uk. Organisations from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who want their opportunities on do-it.org.uk should still register with their local VC, but they can also apply for an Online Poster System account. This enables organisations to reach more potential volunteers online.

Overseas organisations

Only opportunities with a UK postcode can be uploaded to the do-it.org.uk volunteering database. Organisations offering opportunities overseas should contact us if they want to be listed in our overseas section. We normally only list organisations that are UK-based charities.
