1. Our Role: VolunteeringNearMe.com
VolunteeringNearMe.com is an online directory that lists volunteering opportunities from charities across the UK. Our platform is designed to make it easier for you to discover local causes and connect with charities in need of volunteers. However, please note:
- We do not directly vet or verify the accuracy of each listed opportunity. We rely on publicly available information from charities and non-profit organisations.
- We cannot guarantee the availability, suitability, or nature of any volunteering opportunity. The details provided on the website are based on public knowledge and research.
- We are not responsible for the content of the opportunities listed by the charities. It is your responsibility as a volunteer to ensure the opportunity aligns with your interests and availability.
2. Volunteer Responsibilities
As a volunteer, you agree to:
- Conduct your own research: Before committing to any volunteer role, it is your responsibility to verify the details and suitability of the opportunity. We encourage you to visit the charity’s website, contact them directly, and ask any questions you may have about the role.
- Direct communication with charities: Once you find an opportunity through our directory, you should reach out directly to the charity for more information or to express your interest in the role.
- Understand the role fully: Volunteering opportunities can vary widely, so ensure you fully understand the duties, time commitments, and expectations before volunteering. Always confirm the details with the charity before beginning any volunteering activities.

- Direct communication with volunteers: Charities must be responsive to any inquiries from volunteers and provide clear details about the volunteer roles.
- Maintain a safe environment: Charities are responsible for creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for volunteers. Volunteers should be informed about any necessary training or requirements for their roles.
