Access six months of project support from a team of skilled volunteers starting from Jan 2025
The skills based volunteering programme is available to Bolsover VCSE Organisations (Constituted as Registered Charities, Community Interest Companies, Social Enterprises, or Community Organisations with income under £1m).
To take part in this programme, you’ll need to have a project in mind so we can match you with a group of volunteers from Lloyds Banking Group - known as your Support Team - who will have the skills, knowledge, and insights to help you tackle a problem or realise an untapped opportunity. Across six months, starting in January 2025, your support team will work with you in various ways, including informal discussions, workshops, reviewing existing documents or systems, or coaching. I’ve attached a flyer containing additional information about the programme. To help you understand if this is right for you and your team we’re hosting two information sessions on the 15 and 17 October from 11:00-12:00.

A charity participant from this year's programme shared their experience:
‘We received excellent support to rebrand our charity message… As a centre manager, I felt I didn't have to do it all on my own, I felt supported, as if I had my own backup team”
Sign up here by 25 October.
