Would you like to have our volunteering opportunity search on your website?

If you'd like to promote volunteering on your own website, you can use our free Do-it Search widget.

However, if you'd like more than just access to our widget, for an annual fee you can syndicate our search and present it in your website's own look and feel. It's a simple way to add value to your site and offer a great new service to your users.

How it works

Our opportunity search is fed through to your website and automatically kept up-to-date. So, people can search our database without leaving your site. It's straightforward to set up and easy to maintain.

As set out in the Content Licence Agreement, we retain ownership of the data but you can present it as an integral part of your own site, using your choice of fonts, colours and layout.

You can take a feed from the whole database or just select parts of it.

Some organisations who already post opportunities onto Do-it via V-Base or V-Base Recruiter, choose to have all of their own opportunities presented back onto their website using Do-it syndication. This enables the organisation to upload opportunities only once (onto Do-it) and these same opportunities are then fed back onto their own website. An example can be seen on the Birmingham Voluntary Services Council website.

Organisations may also choose to take certain categories of opportunity – for example, those to do with the environment. You can choose to display opportunities from as many or as few categories from the lists of Activities and Interests as you like. An example of this type of feed can be seen on the DirectGov website.

How your organisation will benefit

Syndicating our opportunity search adds huge value to your website. With over 1 million opportunities across the country, Do-it, the National Volunteering Database, is a unique resource – the biggest volunteering database in the country. There's a huge variety of organisations listed, from the big national charities to small community groups, and the range of roles and activities is endless.

It's also really easy to use. We've had tens of thousands of volunteers register and get great feedback in our annual user surveys. Organisations including the National Trust have found that it can work just as effectively syndicated to their own site.

Whether you want to offer the full listing or targeted opportunities relevant to your organisation and users, syndicating our opportunity search will add a new dimension to your website.

Corporate syndication

It's not just charities that can use the Do-it syndication service. It is available to companies as well. If you're interested in adding value to your corporate website or intranet, read more on the YouthNet website.
