There are nearly 100 admin based volunteering opportunities in Wirral that volunteers can get involved with. Some welcome help with general office duties such as filing, photocopying and answering the phone, while other groups may need volunteer receptionists.

Much admin work is computer based, but if you are not familiar with computers there are tasks which do not involve computers, for example - indexing books and equipment, putting together resource packs, updating records, gathering information by telephone and filing.

Often a volunteer may be in charge of or assisting with a particular project, such as helping to arrange events, working on publicity, newsletters, stock and resource updating or book keeping.

Volunteers who have computer skills, such as data inputting, database development, word processing, desk top publishing and spreadsheets can help with a variety of the day to day computer based administrative tasks. Helping keep databases up to date, collating statistics, newsletters and correspondence are some of the main tasks involved in many computer admin roles.

If you prefer to work at home and have a computer with access to the internet, you might want to consider becoming a 'virtual volunteer' and offer your time and skills with out leaving the comfort of your own home. You could get involved in designing a web page, doing on line research or contributing to on line newsletters.

Anyone who has skills in admin or wants to gain skills, would be ideal for volunteering in administration and computing. This type of work often does not involve a great deal of face to face interaction with people outside the working environment and so especially suits people who don't like to be on the 'front line'.
