  1. Create Your Charity Profile
    Register your charity and upload your credentials. To be eligible, your organisation must
    be legally registered and verifiable through your country’s charity commission or regulatory body.
  2. Post Volunteer Opportunities
    List roles and tasks where you need support—from admin and outreach to specialist services
    or community care.
  3. Approve Volunteers & Manage Safeguarding
    Review volunteer applications, ensure appropriate background checks (such as DBS in the UK) are in place for relevant roles, and take responsibility for your volunteers meeting all local safeguarding and legal standards.
  4. Verify Volunteer Hours
    After work is completed, confirm the hours on the VTB platform so volunteers can build their time bank. This transparency creates accountability and trust.
  5. Champion Recognition & Support
    Volunteers who reach 50 hours earn “Champion” status, enabling them to both request and provide support within the global VTB network.
  • Your organisation must be legally registered and in good standing with your national charity regulator.
  • It is your responsibility to vet volunteers for roles that require criminal, welfare, or safeguarding checks.
  • Safeguarding laws vary by country. When hosting volunteers internationally, your organisation must comply with local rules and regulations to ensure safety and legal adherence.

Disclosure & Barring Service – The Update Service https://secure.crbonline.gov.uk/crsc/subscriber

Subscribing to this service reduces the need to apply for multiple DBS Certificates when you move from one job to another in the same workforce or volunteering role or when a recheck is required. Organisations/charities can carry out a quick online Status check to see if an individual’s Certificate is still up to date – saving you both time and money. 

This service is free for volunteers.
