Working for a Charity
Working For A Charity exists to promote the voluntary sector as a positive career option for those seeking paid employment and to promote the opportunities and benefits of becoming a volunteer to people who wish to do unpaid work. Working For A Charity aims to increase understanding of the voluntary sector and to encourage new people, with their resources and skills, to join and strengthen the sector. In January 2005 Working For A Charity merged with National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and now forms part of the Workforce Hub.
