The sectorspace.org volunteer programme matches web, graphic designers, IT professionals, business students and consultants interested in making a difference with a network of charities and voluntary organisations in need of assistance.
Programme Basics
Sectorspace.org recruits volunteers to help its charities and voluntary group members develop a website. Volunteer projects range from creating simple HTML to complex content management systems.
All volunteer designers are invited to browse the project centre. If an organisation's request interests you, use the contact form to get in touch with them and us.
