Volunteering
Community Action Suffolk provides advice and support to organisations to create and manage volunteering programmes and to find suitable volunteers for their organisation.
Our support covers the entire Volunteer Journey: Plan, Support, Recruit and Impact. We have a specialist officer to support Employer Supported Volunteering and we manage the Volunteer Suffolk website for advertising volunteer opportunities.
The volunteering team works across Suffolk working within all of the local authority boundaries.
We have also launched a Suffolk volunteering survey to find out why people may or may not volunteer. This will help us understand the impact of volunteering in Suffolk communities and plan for the future.

CAS Volunteer-led Projects.
We are proud to be leading on projects that promote and celebrate the impact of volunteering in our communities and for the VCSE sector.
With thanks to funders such as Community Fund and Sport England we are delivering projects that are using our greatest asset in communities – people. We support those who step forward to volunteer and make a difference. Our pioneering Young Leadership Project project aims to get young people (aged 16 to 25 years old) involved with Suffolk charities as trustees, enrolling them in the Suffolk Young Trustee Programme.
