New travel booking system
On 20 January, our travel booking system will be updated. Existing bookings will remain valid but won't be viewable in the new system. Please note any current bookings before the update.
Volunteer community network
The volunteer community is a network open to everyone who works with volunteers.
Join the network
The purpose of this network is to:
- share and support each other in guidance, opportunities and improving overall experience of working with volunteers
- effectively utilise appropriate volunteer resources including recruitment and retention within the council
- understand ideas and initiatives happening elsewhere in the council and how we can link up between services and teams to improve our volunteering services
To join the volunteer community, email ECCVolunteerCommunity@essex.gov.uk.
Volunteering opportunities
We support the invaluable contribution that volunteers provide and have a wide range of volunteering opportunities on the Essex County Council website.
You can search for local opportunities or contact an organisation you wish to volunteer with.
Team volunteering can be carried out as a team building activity whilst contributing to a community project.
Paid volunteering days
Council employees can take up to 4 paid volunteering days each year.
