Who are we?
The New Forest Volunteer Centre, run by Community First New Forest, promotes and supports volunteering.
What do we do?
The Volunteer Centre recruits potential volunteers from all sections of the community and seeks to place them with voluntary organisations which are actively looking for volunteers to assist them with their work.
The Volunteer Centre also offers advice, information and training to voluntary groups using or considering using volunteers. We also promote the work of organisations in the New Forest and their ever increasing need for more volunteers.
