Your Questions, Answered

  • Volunteering connects you to others and your local area. It provides a sense of purpose and it’s a chance to to both learn new skills and share knowledge.

    Volunteering can boost your own health and well-being. And last but not least, volunteering is fun!

    We are a low pressure group. When you sign up that does not mean that you commit to turning up every week.
