Volunteering England works to promote volunteering as a powerful force for change, both for those who volunteer and for the wider community. This web site offers a range of resources for anyone who works with or manages volunteers as well as to those who want to volunteer.
Careers in Charities Next speaker confirmed is from The Big Lottery - OK, not a charity in itself, but a big player in keeping many charities going. There are a lot of other players in what we might call the 'charity infrastructure' - govt, obviously, but other organisations like CAF; the various trading companies that endow their profits... to charities (eg museum shops); the law firms that advise them; and so on.
Careers in Charities Here's a useful tool - rate your skills strengths and it will suggest which roles in charities might be best suited to you. Great for generating ideas and discovering some new options you might not have considered.

Careers in Charities A great resource for those of you looking to get into this sector, written by a careers consultant at Uni of Manchester: http://tinyurl.com/yhfxdkf It has masses of info on the need (or not) for volunteering, pay, career ladder, vacancies and so on. Really really worth reading (though it might appear long): you get the view from recent grads and HR professionals.
