example of opportunity - child playing Who are we?

Shipley & Baildon was established in 1982 as an incorporated association and became a registered charity in 1996 and a Company Limited by Guarantee in 2001.

The object of the Bureau is "to provide voluntary work and similar charitable activities for the benefit of the community and to advance the education of the volunteers by providing advice, information and assistance where appropriate."

What do we do?

  • We encourage as many people as possible to volunteer without fear of discrimination, so that they have a positive volunteering experience for themselves and to respond to individual and community needs.

  • We provide information on opportunities in voluntary, charitable and statutory agencies and act as a central recruiting agency to help volunteers to find appropriate placements.

  • We advocate the rights and responsibilities of volunteers. In addition, we offer good practice policies.

  • We promote volunteering as a valuable and integral part of society which deserves support and recognition.

  • We provide advice, information, support and training to volunteers.

  • We develop and support others in the development of appropriate new voluntary opportunities which can help fulfil individual and community needs.
