Managing your opportunity

After you've spoken to a project definer your volunteer opportunity will be published to the website so that it can be seen by our volunteers. You can see the text of your opportunity description by signing-in to your account and going to the "Volunteer opportunities" page.

As time goes on you may wish to update the state of your opportunity. For example, to assign a volunteer or to let us know that the work is complete.

Accepting a volunteer

When you've chosen a volunteer to work with you, you should let us know. It gives credit to that volunteer and stops us advertising to other volunteers.

1. Sign-in to your account
2. Go to the "Volunteer opportunities" page
3. Click on the name of the opportunity
4. In the list of volunteer names find the one you've chosen and click "Accept"
5. Click on the "Accept" button to confirm that you've chosen that volunteer

Completing an opportunity

We'd love to know when your project is complete. We'll ask you to complete a case study form and we can help you publicise your success.

1. Sign-in to your account
2. Go to the "Volunteer opportunities" page
3. Click on the name of the opportunity
4. In the drop-down box labelled "Opportunity state" chose "Work completed"
5. Click on the "Submit" button
6. Click on the "Yes" button to confirm

Withdrawing an opportunity

Occasionally you may decide that you no longer need help from a volunteer. If this happens you should withdraw your opportunity so that volunteers will no longer offer to help.

1. Sign-in to your account
2. Go to the "Volunteer opportunities" page
3. Click on "Withdraw" alongside the opportunity details
4. Enter a reason for the withdrawal.
5. Go to the "Volunteer opportunities" page
6. Click on the "Yes" button to confirm

If you have any problems with the website, please let us know. We can make these changes for you.
