ivo is a new social network which aims to connect people and organisations who want to change their worlds.
ivo is set up to help with "sharing experiences, offering advice, finding things to do, finding volunteer help and voicing opinions about anything and everything to do with making a difference." It allows charities to register for free and search for volunteers who are interested in their cause or activities, and offers a free way for voluntary and community sector organisations to promote their news and events through a partnership with Google News.

ivo says: "If you’re looking to get involved in the community, to find volunteer help, network with other community leaders and volunteer managers, or simply looking to expand your outlook and social networks then ivo is for you."
