The Volunteer Centres 3rd Birthday celebration event was held at The Spectrum on Thursday 18th of February.




The day went without a hitch and included some free rafle draws for all the attendees, proceedings started with Janet Wheatley giving a brief overview of how the volunteer centre has grown over the last 3 years.


We heard from volunteers how their life has been changed through volunteering. Chris Cadman, Lewis Causer and Sarah Eastwood talked about their amazing experiences and the skills they have gained from volunteering.

We recognized young people aged 16 -25, they received their vfifty awards for competing 50 hours of volunteering.

This year alone we have introduced over 1000 volunteers to organisations within the Borough; to celebrate this we invited our 1000th volunteer to the event and presented Liz Harrison with flowers and a gift.



In recognition of all the hard work and effort our volunteer in the Volunteer Centre have given over the past couple of years they received certificates to say thank you for volunteered with us.

Cormac Twomey introduced askmycommunity a new web based communication tool for Rotherham http://www.askmycommunity.com/.

How to create a Blog





Navigate to the blogs page, which can be located on the smaller navigation bar at the top of the page to the right of the main headers.

Once on the page at the top right will be a small stunt to ‘post a blog’, which will then take you to a small, short form to fill out your information.



The form has been made as user friendly as possible and requires only minimal information.

Start off by inputting your title. This can generally be a small or long as you want however, short titles are recommended and generally more eye catching.


Next you have the option to input a thumbnail image to give with your blog. These are not necessary, but again recommended in drawing attention.

Keyword tags – once you click on this box it will open up into a window were you can choose from a variety of different words or input your own in the top box. It is very important to fill this in with as many different words applicable to the content of your blog. This helps it appear in numerous places throughout the site and also ranks it higher up on a Google search. Separate each word with a comma and when you’re finished click the ‘Attach’ button which will return you back to the form with your keywords in place.

NOTE: If you wish to put a phrase or a string of words in together you will need to put them in speech marks as the function automatically breaks up words.
After this there is the option to add a main image, again this is not necessary but will appear at the top of your blog when people access it and can make it more engaging and interesting to view.

Next is the ‘ Blog Intro’ box where you can write an introduction to go with your blog that once listed, will display with your thumbnail (if you decide to add one) to entice readers to on the link to read your blog.



Following this is another box ‘Blog Entry’, where you can input your content. You can write directly into the box or copy and paste from a document into the box, just remember to space it out again afterwards.

After this your blog is complete and you can click the ‘Save’ button at the top of the page. After this your blog should appear in the listing on the Blogs page that you entered through and any other pages you tagged too.
