Online Volunteer Fair - 5 March CCVS are hosting another of their popular online lunchtime volunteer fairs on Tuesday 5th March, 12.30pm to 2pm. If you’ve been considering volunteering, or would like to increase the time you spend, or add to an existing role, but don’t know how to go about it, this event is for you!
Pop along to the fair to find out what's on offer. Come and hear from a variety of local voluntary organisations who will give a short presentation about the volunteering they have on offer and you will have a chance to ask questions. The groups involved all work to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities and support the most vulnerable. There are a mixture of face to face, online, and virtual volunteering opportunities. Some offer training and require regular commitment, others are more flexible.
You can attend the whole fair, or just pop in and out as you wish. Booking is essential to get the online joining link. Details and booking: Link
Don’t keep this opportunity to yourself, share news about the fair with your friends, colleagues, and families. Hope to see you there! |
