Spare time on your hands?

Voluntary Norfolk

According to Voluntary Norfolk, an organisation that provides volunteering opportunities for local people:

Volunteering is good for you - it provides a personal sense of pride; you learn new skills (and get to put your existing skills to good use); it builds confidence; it looks good on your CV. Volunteering can help build new friendships and local communities.

Do you have some spare time on your hands?
Would volunteering help your future career?

If so, give it some thought. Take a look at the Voluntary Services Coordinators' page to find out how you can get in touch with Voluntary Norfolk in your community.

vinspired

The vinspired website aims to connect 16-25 year olds with volunteering opportunities in England. You can search for opportunities in the local area.

From stewarding at the biggest music festivals, helping out at football clubs, or even helping to stop cyber bullying from the comfort of your own home - however and whenever you want to make a difference, the vinspired apps help you give something back - wherever you are.

A recent search for volunteering in Norwich identified opportunities at the SOS Bus, Beat and Macmillan Cancer Research.
