About Volunteers Network Cic
Our aim is to promote volunteering and encourage people to get involved with their community, reducing social isolation, addressing disadvantage, improving community cohesion and connecting people throughout East Sussex.
Volunteers Network Cic Description
Volunteering is a great way to help others and improve your community, but it is much more than that too.
Want to feel valued and part of a team?
Want to gain confidence and learn new skills?
Want to gain experience and improve your chances of getting a job?
Make friends, have fun and VOLUNTEER!
We want to encourage more people to take an active role in community life, recognise the work of volunteers in Eastbourne and ensure volunteers feel valued.
We are going to collect information about every club, group and organisation using volunteers in Eastbourne. We will create a website that makes it easy to find out what is happening in your area and find opportunities to socialise or volunteer.
We will let you know as soon as the website is up and running, in the meanwhile we are looking for three ward coordinators in every ward of Eastbourne who will catalogue the clubs, groups and organisations in their ward.
We will offer lots of training and regular opportunities to meet and network. It's going to be fun and very rewarding!
We are working in partnership with several other organisations including 'The Best of Eastbourne, ' who will give ward coordinators a profile on their page and a chance to blog about the great stuff happening locally.
If you want to get involved please email eastbournevolunteers@gmail.com

Come and meet other social entrepreneurs, volunteers and organisers from community clubs, groups and charities in Eastbourne & the surrounding areas. This is an informal monthly meeting on the last Tuesday of every month so we can all connect, learn from each other, support each other and share resources. We are meeting at our hub which is wheelchair accessible and has an accessible toilet.
