Volunteering

We need your help, whether on one-off activities or on project activities throughout the year.

Helping others by giving your time is so rewarding and will enhance your feelings of self worth and well being. It will increase your friendship circle and give you something to talk about with your family and friends.

We have volunteering opportunities in various roles, which could provide valuable work experience if you are looking to get into work or simply make you feel more valued.

Your time is precious – even more so to US. Don’t waste it !
