Traditional Volunteering: It might be a food bank, day centre, community garden or charity shop. This requires a regular time commitment.
One-off events: This could be marshalling a fun run, helping with refreshments at a coffee morning or running a jumble sale stall.
Skills focused roles: Many charities rely on specialists to support their work. Social media, legal and finance are common and can be completed from home with only a few hours required per month.
Trustee roles: Trustees are vital for the effective running of charities. They have strategic oversight and responsibility.
If you need further help to get started, we offer one-to-one support.
