Helping others in Worcestershire

Volunteering is a great way to get involved and make a difference in your area. If you haven’t volunteered before, then there are many benefits including gaining new skills, making new friends and create new opportunities to get to know your community and the people who live in it.

On this page you will be able to find out about volunteering opportunities within the council and also the details of our locally based volunteering charities that can support you on your volunteering journey.
