individuals

find an opportunity

Volunteering can take many shapes or forms depending on your interests and passions. You can search all our opportunities online, come in for a chat or workshop, or get in touch for an information pack. If you are unsure why not see what other people do in the case studies section, or visit our Frequently Asked Questions> (FAQ's).

Give us a call, or come in and talk to us!

If you are unsure what you would like to do or where to start then get in touch. We are open for drop-ins on Tuesdays from 10am - 6pm and Thursdays 10am - 4pm so you can come in and talk to one of the team. You will receive information and advice about volunteering opportunities that match your interests, skills and availability. You will be able to search through 100s of opportunities and get in touch with organisations you are interested in while you are with us.

Tuesdays and Thursdays no good? We also offer 45 minute one-to-one appointments at different times each week so give us a call to find out when the next ones are. We are also very happy to provide information, advice and support over the phone if that is more convenient.
