This online "Marketplace" incorporating a Search feature will enable those who work alongside volunteers, such as volunteer-involving organisations, volunteer managers, agencies that routinely involve volunteers (at all levels), and other stakeholders, to find partners online for common projects in the framework of the Year.
It will also enable organisations to offer volunteering opportunities and people to search for suitable volunteering experiences. This will be an important tool for people wishing to explore volunteering for the first time or experience volunteering in a different sector to the one where they are usually involved. To participate in the Market Place users will need to register and introduce their details in a simple form using the options provided. These completed forms will provide the details to be included in the Market Place data bank.
