Volunteering may have been put on hold due to a global pandemic, however, help for the community and voluntary sector, schools and youth centres has never been needed more so we still need YOU!  We have a range of ways that you can still volunteer, share your skills, knowledge, and expertise with others in a COVID-safe way.

Join us on 27 January from 9:00 – 10:00 am for a webinar that will explore the Skills Match – an online platform that can match your skills and expertise with a community and voluntary organisation in need.

In partnership with Be Collective and Department for Communities, we developed Skills Match so that business volunteers like you can easily register your skills and expertise – these can range from marketing, HR or project management skills to architectural and financial advice.

Skill Match will then match you with a charity, community group or school that needs these skills, helping them to continue their vital work.

The webinar will cover:

  • Introduction to Skills Match and its success to date
  • How to use Skills Match
  • Benefits for volunteers
  • How Be Collective supports community groups in Northern Ireland
  • Q&A
