Becoming a volunteer

There are all kinds of volunteering roles out there, contributing to many different causes.

Volunteers’ Week is an ideal time to get chatting to organisations you’re interested in and find out more about their volunteering opportunities.

To access resources, support and information for across the UK, you can also contact our partner organisations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Volunteering should be open to everyone, and Volunteers’ Week is committed to supporting, enabling and championing volunteering in all its forms.

While we can’t help you find a volunteering opportunity directly, the links below can help you find something to suit you.
