Making a difference
Voluntary work is taking off as people search for more fulfilling and meaningful ways of using their time. Contributing your skills and experience to your local community by helping people in distress can be hugely rewarding.

Volunteering involves offering social support and a listening ear whilst sharing your skills and interests within one of our peer support groups, education and leisure classes, or as a one-to-one volunteer working within our new Buddying and Horizons services. We ask volunteers to commit to at least 6 months for between 2-3 hours a week.
