Celebrating Four Years of GoVolHerts; Help us to Share the Next Four too.

This February we're celebrating, as GoVolHerts turns four!

And just in time for our anniversary, earlier this month we hit 10,000 registered volunteers and 600 registered organisations, an incredible milestone for our Hertfordshire volunteering community!

GoVolHerts itself has built on the earlier success of #TeamHertsVolunteering and we are extremely proud to continue going from strength to strength. Thank you to everyone who's been part of our ongoing development. In this last year we've seen a wider range of opportunities than ever, more volunteers and organisations proactively using the volunteer pool to find connections and a nearly six-fold increase in volunteering applications since GoVolHerts launched! We average around 10,000 visitors a month and receive ever more enquiries.

One thing we pride ourselves on at GoVolHerts is that we're not only facilitating a connecting place for organisations and passionate, committed potential volunteers, but with volunteering being our passion, we go much further - to support you, celebrate the unique contribution of volunteers, raise awareness of the benefits of volunteering, showcase the amazing work of local non-profit organisations and the impact it has and help people to get involved in a wide range of opportunities that meet their interests and circumstances.

Whilst it is incredible that we have so many of you registered with the site, numbers are not what matter most to us. It's the overall impact of potential for volunteer support for Hertfordshire charities and community groups and their service users. Increasing the number of volunteers means organisations can potentially involve more volunteers from different backgrounds, ages, skills and experiences. With our platform that matches interests and flexibility with relevant positions, it's even easier to connect the two.

So whether a charity needs digital support, event help, befriending, admin support, trustees, transport, club management or occasional hands-on assistance, we hope to have something for everyone.

To ensure that we go from strength to strength and remain a place that supports both organisations and volunteers, we would love to hear your feedback and experience of the GoVolHerts platform.

If you have 5 minutes to spare, you can share your feedback here or if you have additional feedback please do email us [email protected]

Thank you so much to every volunteer who has given their time, every charity on a mission and every group that has joined our network.

Here's to four more years, and beyond!
