Start volunteering

When you volunteer you’re giving your time for free but you’ll be richly rewarded.

You can help organisations to deliver important community services they wouldn’t otherwise be able to, and in return you can develop your skills, build confidence and even improve your overall wellbeing.

You can search for volunteer opportunities by visiting the VAL Volunteering website, by coming along to one of our volunteer drop-in sessions, or by contacting our Volunteering Team.

One of the key benefits of volunteering is that it allows voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations to deliver their services on very small budgets.

There are many projects and charities who simply wouldn’t be able to help the community without the generosity of people who are willing to give up their time to help others.

We can provide you with the support you need to successfully recruit, manage and retain volunteers for your organisation.
