Get Involved! Our NEW Volunteers Board

Volunteering is a great way to help others, learn new skills and meet new people. This week from Monday 3rd June - Sunday 9th June is #VolunteersWeek, celebrating 40 years of celebrating the contribution of the volunteering community. Read More

From fundraising, organising and hosting events, translation, befriending, marketing, administration and more; volunteers help charities and community groups big and small, across civil society.

  • An estimated 14.2m people in the UK volunteered through a group, club or organisation in 2021/22.
  • Almost one in five (16%) people report volunteering at least once a month (about 8.3m people in the UK).
  • More than half of the UK population gets involved in informal volunteering – but this is less visible. Informal volunteering can involve things like going shopping, providing childcare or doing housework for free for someone who is not a relative or a friend.

Volunteering is a great way to share your skills, do good and learn at the same time! Many volunteers value the experience that they can gain which in turn can help with personal and career development.

For Volunteers Week 2024 we are delighted to support British Muslim-led charities with the launch of our brand new Volunteer Opportunities Board!
