VolResource aims to make it quick and easy to get to useful information on anything to do with running a voluntary organisation (whether a community group, charity or other non-profit body).
There is a wide range of material on this web site and as visitors come with a range of expectations and experience, we provide a number of ways to locate what you want.
VolResource aims to provide practical resources for people involved in charities, voluntary or community organisations, making use of communications technology such as this web site and our email newsletter. This site carries briefings, contact information, specialist sources, suppliers and more, with news now on VoluntaryNews. It acts as a portal bringing together basic information on these pages, a wide range of links to relevant web sites for more material alongside tips on key issues and what to look out for elsewhere. You can use VR as a database of contacts.
Whether you are looking for a new membership system, details on who provides training, a basic briefing on legal issues, relevant conferences or anything else to do with making an organisation tick, whether it has fifty paid staff or none, we hope to point you in the right direction. Our starting point is 'what is useful to those relatively new to the sector or a particular aspect of its work?'. While we aim to cover anything to do with running a voluntary organisation, we only touch on fundraising, leaving it to various other well-established web site (see Fundraising on the Net).
