There are many reasons to volunteer. Here are just a few:
- Volunteering is very rewarding for those who have found the right opportunities. You will have the satisfaction of being part of a group working together to achieve goals in supporting the community.
- Volunteering helps to prepare for paid employment. It builds confidence, you will meet new people, learn new skills, get a reference and have experience to add to your CV.
- Volunteering is an excellent way to support the causes that matter to you.
We link people who want to volunteer in Bedfordshire, with organisations who need volunteers. You don’t have to give a lot of time, you tell us when you are free to volunteer and how regularly you wish to do so and we will look for an opportunity that fits.
There are lots of things to choose from: administration, conservation, befriending the elderly or someone with a disability, driving, charity shop work, mentoring ex-offenders & plenty of other opportunities. You can have a look at the sort of opportunities available without making any commitment here.
