Volunteer support for Action Desks

CSV Action Desks are managed by CSV Producers but rely heavily on local volunteers who contribute enormously to the work and character of all our projects.

Volunteers get involved by staffing the listener helplines as well as providing back up research support and occasionally helping to produce social action initiatives. Some of our volunteers go on to structured media training courses and/or employment within the industry.

These volunteer placements are extremely popular and we have no vacancies at present. If you would like to register your interest you can contact your nearest CSV Action Desk however we can not guarantee finding you a volunteer placement.

Would you like to recruit volunteers or promote an educational campaign with us :

CSV Action Desks work closely with charities and community groups to change passive listeners into active, informed citizens.

Action Desks work closely with broadcasters to produce:

  • on air appeals for volunteers, new learners, or other help
  • On air features to highlight a particular issue such as life long learning, healthy eating or crime prevention.

This is a service provided free to the voluntary sector so, if we can help you, contact us:
