Volunteering Network

  • The Volunteering Network is a collaborative model that is led in partnership by 3SG, St Mungo’s and HCRG Volunteer Service to ensure the network meetings and events are promoted and facilitated.


    The network was developed in response to issues raised by volunteer involving organisations, services and community groups across BaNES.


    Who can get involved? Any individual who works or volunteers for a 3SG Member organisation.

    • Identify issues and opportunities to improve volunteer management, good practice, and progression pathways

    • Develop suitable tools, resources, and coordinated approaches in response to those issues and opportunities

    • Encourage local residents to volunteer

    • Share widely to encourage and empower all organisations to be able to improve volunteer management and embed good practice

  • To get an occasional update from 3SG on the activities of this network, just click the "Get Email Updates" button.
