A quick introduction to the Wirral's primary volunteering platform

It’s a simple, friendly online hub that brings together over 300 organisations across Wirral, all in one place. Whether you’ve got lots of time or just a little, specific skills or none at all, the portal helps you find volunteering opportunities that suit you.

What Is the Wirral Volunteering Portal?

The Wirral Volunteering Portal is a one‑stop website where local organisations share their volunteer opportunities and where volunteers can explore, search and apply for roles that match their interests and availability.

Instead of searching lots of websites or not knowing who to contact, everything is gathered in one easy place. From community groups and charities to health organisations, arts groups and environmental projects, it’s all there.
