What is Volunteering?
Volunteering is a powerful tool for change, both for those who volunteer and for the wider community. It builds, supports and sustains communities and individuals, making a huge difference to all levels of society.
It is described as an activity that involves spending time, without payment, doing something that aims to benefit individuals (other than close relatives), groups or the environment.
If you are a charity, voluntary, community group or not for profit enterprise and need volunteers then we’ll help you to find the people that you need. If you’re someone that’s looking to give your time, we can help you find the perfect role.

Corporate volunteering, or Employer Supported Volunteering is on the rise, with an estimated 11 million people in the UK given time off by their employers to volunteer each year.
hvoss is pleased to broker opportunities for businesses to contribute to the local community and charitable causes. In 2025 we have helped a number of businesses make a valuable contribution through employee volunteering.
As well as contributing to great teamwork it is proving an invaluable way to help projects that need your skills. It is successful for everyone involved.
Here is an example of the partnership we currently have with McPhillips, an Award winning construction company who are committing hours to support community projects across Hereford City in 2025/26.
If you are a business that would like to do something similar we will be pleased to put a call out to our extensive community networks.
You can then choose what might suit you, your skills and business best. Contact us on 01432 343932 or info@hvoss.org.uk
Do you need volunteers to help with a construction project?
Exciting opportunity for Hereford city
Award winning construction firm McPhillips is in Hereford building the new Transport Hub at the railway station.
The Shropshire based business is committed to making a positive impact on the communities where it works – and is looking to support a good cause here in Hereford.
McPhillips is offering a small team of volunteers to work one day a month on a local, community project – starting as soon as possible. The team could help with a range of jobs including manual labour, groundworks, paving, drains, paths, building and surveying.
If you have a project in mind that fits the bill, please get in touch by Monday October 13th – simply send a short summary of your plan along with some photos. We will pass them on for selection.
Any questions, contact Mandy Furniss at hvoss on 01432 343932 or email info@hvoss.org.uk
