There are many organisations offering a wide range of volunteering opportunities. From gardening, to music, to supporting people in your community and more.

If you've got an idea about what you'd like to do, you can find a list of recent volunteering opportunities in the local area HERE

If you're a younger prospective volunteer, there is a PDF at the bottom of this page that has a range of roles that are potentially open to young people (aged 11+)

If you're not sure what sort of role might be right for you, then you can provide some brief details on our Volunteering Registration Form and we'll be in touch. You are also welcome to get in touch with Jane Caley to discuss volunteering opportunities.

Organisations looking for volunteers:

If you have a volunteering role to advertise, please submit it via this GoogleForm: Volunteer Role Listing Request.

We encourage you to list your role/s on Tribe. Roles you submit via the HVA GoogleForm will be sent to Tribe, unless you request otherwise.

Tribe is a new digital volunteering platform that is being piloted in Hastings before being rolled out county-wide. The platform helps connect Volunteer Involving Organisations with individuals in their area who either want to help, or who need help.

You can add your listing HERE: https://tribeproject.org/manage-community-groups

The platform can be used in a number of ways including: to recruit volunteers; to advertise services; to support existing volunteers; to promote events.

The platform is being funded by East Sussex County Council, and the pilot is being led by Hastings Voluntary Action.

For more support and advice about how and where to advertise volunteering opportunities, or training that may be relevant to you or your volunteers, contact Jane Caley at Hastings Voluntary Action on [email protected] or phone 01424 444010.

HVA, RVA and 3VA run regular Volunteer Coordinators’ Forums around the county. Keep an eye on our Events page for up to date details.

Hastings' Volunteering Strategy

HVA were delighted to collaborate with the Institute for Volunteering Research on the largest ever study of volunteering ever undertaken in Hastings. The study provided an independent and objective body of evidence from which we have developed a local strategy. This strategy has been through extensive research, consultation and engagement, and we are grateful to everyone who took part. You can download a copy of the strategy 'A Volunteering Vision for Hastings' at the bottom of this page, or click HERE.
