ADMINISTRATION & OFFICE VOLUNTEERING

RECEPTION & GENERAL OFFICE WORK
Many organisations appreciate the help of volunteers in their offices. If you like meeting people, are organised & want to brush up your office skills, then this could be for you. Office voluntary work can be flexible, or Time to Time.

Tasks might include:-

  • Meeting and greeting visitors
  • Telephone work
  • Booking appointments
  • Writing letters / reports
  • Filing / photocopying
  • Helping with mail shots
MINUTES SECRETARIES
Shorthand is not usually necessary, although secretaries to committees need to record the proceedings of meetings accurately and produce minutes for circulation. The use of a home computer is often useful for small charities which have no office base

COMPUTER WORK
Computers are becoming increasingly important in offices of all sizes. If you wish to brush up your PC skills in an office environment then this could be ideal. Why not combine office volunteering with a computer course?

  • Maintaining databases / spreadsheets
  • Finance software
  • Mail merge for letters
  • Designing posters & leaflets / using graphics

WEB DESIGN & MAINTAINENCE
Do you speak html and have an eye for design?
Many charities would like to have their own web sites - it's becoming an increasingly important way of communicating and yet few of them have the time or expertise to develop their own sites.
Amazing projects for the right volunteers.

Don't forget:
Volunteering can increase your skills and help you in your own life.
Could it make a difference to your CV?
