Powys Volunteer Centre promotes volunteering across the county and offers a comprehensive information and guidance service on volunteering opportunities, and volunteer recruitment and support. The centre works closely with the 12 volunteer bureaux and community supports in Powys who have offices in teh main towns.

A guidance interview is available to potential volunteers to find out what their interests and skills are and to help them find a suitable volunteering opportunity. The interviews take place in the nearest volunteer bureau.

People volunteer for all sorts of reasons. Some people may volunteer because they want to:

• Improve their chances of getting back into paid employment
• Do something they enjoy
• Give something back to their community
• Make new friends
• Use existing skills or acquire new ones.

Whatever the reasons for volunteering, Powys Volunteer Centre will help to find a suitable opportunity.

Powys Volunteer Centre also provides guidance and information for groups and organisations that work with volunteers. It helps groups to recruit volunteers by advertising locally and entering details about the volunteering opportunity on the Volunteering Wales website. The website also contains useful information about volunteering. To go to the website click here.
