If you've been
thinking about volunteering for ages, but aren’t quite sure
what to do, then this is a fun way to get started.
Volunteering can
help you as well as the projects you support, so why not give
it a try?
Just book a slot
on one of our speed matching sessions and give local organisations
4 minutes each to impress you. Anyone already familiar with the
idea of speed dating will know how this works. If it’s a
new idea to you, please don’t worry, because help will be
on hand.
What’s
in it for you?
On offer will be information about helping other local people,
and about helping in conservation projects. Organisations taking
part will include those that help people who are young and not
so young, people with physical and learning disabilities, people
who homeless, victims of crime, or experiencing mental distress,
and people in hospitals, hospices and day centres. Maybe you have
managerial, marketing or financial skills, in which case you may
be interested in finding out about becoming a charity trustee,
or a school governor. If your interest lies in counselling, supporting
or advising then there will be opportunities for you to find out
more about that too. We
guarantee there will be something of interest for you - no matter
what your interests, passions or time commitments.
Will you have to sign up to volunteer on the day?
Not necessarily. Taking on a voluntary job is not something to
rush. Our event is a fun way of getting people interested. We
will help you to make your decisions – maybe on the day,
or maybe a while later once you have had time to think about it.
