Flexible volunteering

If you want to help out in your community or advance a cause but you find it challenging to commit to a regular volunteering schedule, flexible volunteering offers an ideal solution.

Whether you have limited time availability or prefer short-term commitments, flexible volunteering allows you to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others without the constraints of a long-term rigid schedule. On GoVolHerts you can find a range of flexible volunteering opportunities to suit a variety of interests and availabilities.  

One-off volunteering

One-off volunteering is an action that benefits an organisation once, for example, volunteering at a festival or event. This could involve marshalling, helping with catering and refreshments or taking photographs on the day.

Here are some more examples:

• Painting a room at a community centre
• Hosting an information stand at an event
• Helping with accounts
• Driving to collect items

Short-term volunteering

Short-term volunteering requires a commitment for a limited duration, usually ranging from a few days to a few months. Unlike long-term or ongoing volunteering roles, short-term roles are designed to fulfil specific needs or projects within an organisation and have a defined timeframe, such as:

• Creating admin framework
• Specific grant application
• Helping at youth workshops during the holidays
• Tidying a nature reserve
