Do you have some time on your hands coming up?
Maybe your children are going back to school or off to University?
Maybe you are coming up to retirement? Or you are thinking of trying a new career?
Maybe you would like to meet new people, gain new skills or gain some more confidence? Whatever the reason, volunteering is for you.
Volunteering can be very flexible and fit around other commitments.
Some roles are regular, other more adhoc, there really is something for everyone!.
Local charities rely on their amazing volunteers to help deliver this support and without them, they could not continue.
Winter pressures and the cost of living crisis means these organisations need even more help.
To help these organisations to find more volunteers, the Wokingham Volunteer Centre will be hosting a Volunteer Recruitment Fair at the Charity and Community Hub on Tuesday 20th September from 11am-2pm.
The hub is based at Waterford House, Erfstadt Court, Denmark Street, RG40 2YF.
The event will be free to the general public and no booking is required, please just drop in.
The charities attending so far are; Link Visiting Scheme, Citizens Advice Wokingham, Building for the Future, Holt Copse Conservation Volunteers, Promise Inclusion, First Days, Berkshire Scouts, ABC to Read, Cancer Support Network, Berkshire Vision, Chance to Dance, Wokingham In Need and the Wokingham Foodbank.
