What is Steps Forward?

Steps Forward Volunteering is a short learning programme focussed on volunteering. It’s a great way to make more of your volunteering. It’s about recording the important work you do (through a logbook, pictures, diary etc.) and all you learn and achieve as a volunteer and using that to get an accreditation to add to your CV. It helps you look to the future and focusses on the skills you want to develop to enable you to take a step forward towards employment…. 

Who is it open to?

If you aren’t working and are looking to move into employment, then Steps Forward is for you!

You will either already be volunteering, or you will be keen to start volunteering, for a couple of hours a week (or more) over 8-10 weeks. Using our extensive bank of available volunteering opportunities, we can help you to find a role that matches your skills and interests.

Steps Forward is for you if you’re over 16 and unemployed or economically inactive.
