About Us

Volunteer Centre Lincoln exists to promote volunteering and good practice in volunteer management. We try to ensure that volunteering opportunities are available to all members of the community. We support both volunteers and the organisations that host them, with training, policies, information and advice and regular networking events.

We are hosted by Urban Challenge. We are a Volunteering England accredited Volunteer Centre. We also deliver Nextstep provision and are accredited to the Matrix Standard. We work with over 250 organisations across the City of Lincoln and have approximately 200 volunteering opportunities available at any one time.
