Bristol Volunteers Project

Bristol Volunteers CardBristol Volunteers Card has been set up to reward the people in Bristol who give their time freely for charities and non-profit organisations. We are creating a community of volunteers and supporters of charities and non-profit organisations in Bristol and the South-West to help volunteers discover opportunities to offer their skills to the non-profit sector. OUR GOALSVolunteersTo reward volunteers for the work they do in our city by offering discounts, incentives and prizes through our discount card and social media sites. We want to provide a place for them to find out about new volunteering and training opportunities in Bristol. We also want to encourage people considering volunteering to join up and share the experiences of current volunteers to increase the talent and skills available to Bristol charities and non-profit organisations. CharitiesTo offer a way of helping charities to reward their volunteers for the work they do on their behalf. We want to provide a place for them to advertise positions and find the perfect people to help their organisation. We will have a bank of volunteers who can be invited to take part in casual or one-off volunteering opportunities and events by charities and other Bristol community projects. We will also start a dividend scheme where any profits made by Bristol Volunteers Card are part of a profit share, and dividends will be paid to charities based on the number of Bristol Volunteers Card holders they have volunteering for them. BusinessTo promote local businesses through partnerships that benefit both the business and volunteers. We will provide promotion of local businesses that support the Bristol Volunteers Card and also allow them to advertise for voluntary and paid staff from our pool of volunteer talent. We also want to encourage Bristol volunteers to visit local shops, which supports local business and keeps money earned in Bristol in Bristol.
