Volunteering with the council

Volunteering is about doing something to benefits others, not for financial gain.

Volunteering can take many different forms such as:

• helping with activities
• helping train or teach people
• supporting clubs and groups
• helping to run programmes
• befriending others

Volunteering has many benefits, such as:

• gaining new experience
• enhancing your skills
• adding something new to your CV
• building confidence
• making new friends
• feeling good about helping others

If you are interested in volunteering with us have a look at our list of opportunities. If you see an opportunity of interest, read the role description carefully and check who can be a volunteer.

You will then be contacted to arrange an informal chat, either in person or by phone.
