This session is suitable for those who have never used the Portal before, and for those who would like more help and support to use it.

The database is run by Cumbria CVS to strengthen volunteering in the county. The service allows individuals to self-register and search for the latest opportunities, and organisations seeking volunteers to add vacancies and manage applications.

You will find our Portal here: https://volunteering.cumbriacvs.org.uk

This session will also be an opportunity to meet new CVS staff in the area.

This event is part of the This Is Us Project which is funded through UKSPF through Westmorland and Furness Council. The event is also part of the Bedrock Basics Programme in West Cumbria which is funded through Sellafield Ltd and managed by Cumbria Community Foundation. Priority bookings will go to those organisations operating in these areas.
