Go Volunteer Glos was founded by the Gloucestershire Volunteering Collaborative. The Collaborative is a group of representatives from the local Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, health, local government, employers and employees, police, and fire services, along with volunteers themselves, working together strategically to improve the way volunteering works in the county.  

We listened to thousands of local people and organisations during 2020/21, many of whom told us there was a need to bring together all the rich diversity of volunteering opportunities available across our county into a single, easily accessible online home. So, we have created Go Volunteer Glos as our first step in making Gloucestershire the best place in the country to volunteer.  

We believe: “Volunteering encompasses any unpaid activity where individuals willingly offer their time, skills, and expertise to benefit others or contribute to a cause, organisation, or community.”

We are delighted that the Gloucestershire VCS Alliance has kindly agreed to host Go Volunteer Glos for us, managing it on a day-to-day basis.
