2. ORGANISATION OVERVIEW
Assist Anytime is a
website linking
volunteers to charities
so both may avail of a
mutual benefit.
Charities post vacancies
for volunteers at short
notice on the Assist
Anytime website and
then volunteers can

something that suits
them.
This way we are offering
a simple convenience
service to link charities
and volunteers, offering
choice to volunteers on
a non-committal basis.
