Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community while building valuable skills and gaining meaningful work experience.

The Volunteering Fair is your opportunity to connect directly with local charities, explore current opportunities, and discover how you can get involved. Chat with charity representatives to learn how volunteering works, what you can expect, and how your time and talents can make a real difference.

Whether you're looking to boost your CV, expand your network, or support a cause you care about, volunteering offers something for everyone. Join us at the fair to take the first step toward making an impact.
