An action is like a small pledge to do something, such as sign a petition, do a fundraising, donate food or clothes, something that the volunteer can do themselves without the need for you to physically be there! Or it could be something that´s a one off such as help out with a gardening task.

We currently enable you to collect volunteers info and let volunteers know about your fundraising events or petitions.
We do have plans to have this so you can turn this collection off!
What it is not? It is not a full time volunteering role!
To create an action click on 'New Activity' from the admin dashboard.
Then click on the action option and the following screen will appear:

Corporate actions
Looking for more fundraising support from corporates? If you create actions and publish them to the BHO app or BHO corporate app or Do it day app, employees can find more ways to help you. Plus these actions can be shown to corporates and their employees, so if they are strapped for time they can do these things and still help!
