Voluntary Action Barnsley put in a bid to V last year and was successful in getting a three year grant to cover two salaries. These workers will work with young people aged from 16-25, to recruit them into being volunteers, to listen to what skills and experiences they would like to build and what areas of work they would like to be placed in. The workers will work with organisations to create new and interesting volunteering opportunities for young people.
We also keep a range of useful document in our document library.
