Would you like to become a volunteer?

Volunteering is a great way to make use of your skills, and discover new skills you never knew you had. You’ll meet new people, gain confidence and could get involved with your local community.

In Wakefield District and surrounding areas, there are many different and varied volunteering opportunities available with small community groups, local and national charities, as well as parts of the public sector such as social services, the police and in education.

Our Volunteer Centre in Wakefield District can help you to find the best volunteering opportunity by:

  • giving you information on a wide variety of voluntary activities
  • telling you about the special things on offer from groups, such as training, expenses and support
  • giving you guidance on the best voluntary experience for you according to your individual circumstances
  • providing the contact details for groups who are looking for volunteers
  • giving advice on how to make your volunteering a success.
