I WANT TO VOLUNTEER!

Why volunteer?

Charities and organisations throughout Cheltenham and the locality need your interests and skills for the benefit of their users.

What do I have to gain from volunteering?

The chance to meet new people, make a difference, share experiences and gain new skills – or even just to do something different. Volunteering helps to expand your horizons, you can test the possibility of new careers, add something to your CV and enjoy your spare time.

What can I do?

Anything and everything! Clear footpaths, listening and befriending, administration work, working with animals, accountancy, driving, PR and marketing, web design, social care, gardening, furniture recycling, make cakes, youth activities, fundraising, governance + much more!

The possibilities are endless...
