Volunteering

Description 

Volunteer to help benefit the local community through a variety of one-off, weekly or monthly projects. We run one-offs to give you the opportunity to try out volunteering without having to make a regular commitment; it’s a great way to try it out. They are usually a few hours long and run in a morning, afternoon or evening.

Our regular opportunities are all with local or national charities and community groups. There is a huge range of types of voluntary work with over 100 different opportunities available.

If you are really keen, we can help you set up your own volunteering project in the wider community.
