Volunteer Now has partnered with Be Collective to bring a dedicated online platform for volunteering to Northern Ireland. The platform supports volunteers through the volunteering process and helps connect more people with a wider range of opportunities. There’s lots of great features to Be Collective like messaging, making a profile, and being able to compile all your experiences, training and roles as well as the skills gained within a social CV.You can search and apply for volunteer roles below. If you can’t find anything you like you at the moment – register now, then check back soon – new opportunities are added all the time!

Our Retail Volunteering Taster Sessions allow you to come and see what goes on behind the scenes, meet the team, ask any questions you may have and give volunteering a go. It’s a little like try before you buy.
There is no pressure to sign up to anything longer term. Although if you enjoy it (we are confident you will!) you can easily sign up to one of our regular retail volunteering opportunities. The shop team will be delighted to help you sign up to regular volunteering. If you don’t wish to sign up to regular volunteering, that’s fine too, we are still grateful for the support you will be giving during your taster session. We hope you will share your great experience with others to encourage them to sign up for a taster session too.
Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid volunteering position in a friendly charity shop.
If you would like to continue your volunteering journey after your taster, you will just need to follow just a few more steps.
* Find and apply for your preferred retail role.
* You will be asked to provide details of two referees.
The team are here to help you along the way.
