Funded through the Know Your Neighbourhood Fund and in line with the Vision for Volunteering to create a diverse, innovative, ambitious, equitable and person-centred future for volunteering, we have developed a County Durham Volunteer Passport. 

We are partnering with multiple organisations in County Durham as part of the Volunteer Passport Scheme. This collaborative approach forms a shared agreement on values, goals, and standards regarding the recruitment, good practice, and deployment of volunteers allowing the volunteering workforce to move around with flexibility and consistency. 

We aim to create a network of volunteers who are fully recruited, trained, supported and ready to respond quickly and appropriately to the needs of the local community. 

The session is aimed at anyone who is collaborating with clients/service users that they may want to refer to volunteering. It will cover:

• An overview of the Volunteer Passport project
• Making a referral and other support available
• An opportunity to ask questions

This event will take place online and joining instructions will be sent prior to the session.

Attendance is free although booking in advance is required to secure places.
