Volunteering

“To volunteer or not to volunteer?” that is the question.  If you are having this debate then we suggest reading How to Know when Not to Volunteer.  This is not to put you off but more to help you consider some of the different pros and cons.

If you decide to go ahead and look further into volunteering then there are several ways to find a volunteer role in Calderdale that suits your skills and/or interests:

  • Bi annually we produce a directory that give a flavour of the range of volunteering available. This is not fully comprehensive but is a good starting point in considering your options.  The current version can be found here.
  • We produce a monthly eNewsletter of current volunteer roles and the latest edition can be found here.
  • You may like to visit one of our drop-ins to discuss your skills and interests so we can help identify a volunteer role to suit.
  • www.do-it.org.uk is a national website of UK volunteer vacancies which you can search based on your postcode and skills / interests, for a list of vacancies in your area.
  • Some opportunities will also get posted on this blog.  A summary of these can be seen here clicking here.
