Do-it Community Action: MK Volunteering Platform
Volunteering is for everyone, whatever your age or situation. Whether you have a short amount of time, are looking for a one off opportunity or something more regular to get your teeth into, we can help you find what’s right for you. We have seen throughout the Covid-19 pandemic how vital volunteers are, and that they continue to be fundamental in organisations delivering their work and supporting communities, so whatever you can do will be helpful.
Join us…
Join our volunteering platform on do-it.life. You can join through the links below, depending on whether you are an organisation looking to list opportunities or a volunteer keen to get involved in your local community.
You are also welcome to come along and chat to one of our friendly team members at one of our online Support Sessions that run every Tuesday and Thursday. We can offer advice on using the platform, guide you through the site or more general support. Book a 30 minute time slot here.
We held our first Virtual Volunteer Fayre back in November 2021, where it was wonderful for organisations to get together and share the roles they have in a different way with a range of potential volunteers. You can watch the session here, as well as see what organisations came along here.
Volunteers
Do you have some time to spare to help out others? Could you support your neighbours or local community? To get started on your volunteering journey, you can register here.
This will set you up with a ‘Doit Pass’ which will then allow you to view and browse the variety of volunteering roles in and around Milton Keynes. If you have any questions or would like to talk through the process, then please email us at support@communityactionmk.org and we would be happy to help!
