The Volunteering Team can provide advice and support if you want to volunteer. We have a database with a wide variety of volunteering opportunities available. Volunteering provides skills and experience and volunteers often gain new confidence. This has led many Partnership volunteers to take up training and employment opportunities. The team provides supported volunteering groups for volunteers that have extra support needs. The Volunteer Team can also support local groups to recruit and effectively manage volunteers.
