The Volunteer Recruitment Service

Volunteers are the lifeblood of Voluntary services. The Volunteer Recruitment Service works rather like a recruitment agency. Groups can register to find volunteers and individuals may volunteer by registering to be placed with groups.

How groups find Volunteers

Any voluntary, community groups or non-profit making organisations in the Bracknell Forest Borough can register with us and request volunteers.

If you would like to register your organisation with BFVA for membership and to help you recruit volunteers, please complete this form* and post it to the address at the bottom of the page.

To help us match volunteers to vacancies please complete this form* to tell us about the opportunity, and post it to the address at the bottom of the page.

Download a copy of our Good Practice Guidelines*.

How Volunteers find groups

Individuals wanting to do some voluntary activity register with us and, with our help, choose which group they would like to be introduced to. There are over 200 groups registered so we like to think there is something for everyone.

Local vacancies are shown at www.do-it.org.uk.

If you would like to register as a volunteer please complete this form* and post it to the address at the bottom of the page.
