Volunteering

Page updated: 18/06/2024

Volunteering is an unpaid activity where someone freely gives their time to help an organisation or an individual who they are not related to. Volunteers are not paid staff and do not have a legally binding contractual relationship with the Council.

It can be very rewarding and can cover a wide range of tasks, such as:

  • having a cup of tea with someone who feels isolated
  • gardening or working outside protecting and conserving the local environment
  • supporting at local sporting or theatre events
  • helping children learn to read in school

Volunteers have played an important part in the delivery of the Council’s services for many years and are greatly valued.
