• Not all volunteering opportunities are open to all age groups (e.g. some are specifically for young people or older people and many organisations cannot involve volunteers under the age of 16 etc) so it helps our partners place volunteers in appropriate opportunities;
• The Volunteer Centre needs to monitor use of its services to ensure that they are involving all sections of their community in order to demonstrate this to funders.

Age discrimination laws do not currently apply to volunteering opportunities.
