VOLUNTEER FAIR V365

Local charities need your help!
There are so many reasons for volunteering:
1. Everyone has something to offer – use your skills, knowledge and experience to benefit others and the local community.
2. Do something different and learn new skills.
3. Get to know new people and make new friends.
4. Many employers look favourably at people with volunteering on their CV.
5. Giving something back can make you feel good and have a positive effect on mental health.
6. It’s fulfilling and rewarding!
On behalf of Volunteer Centre West Berkshire, I am absolutely delighted to welcome you all to our V365 Volunteer Recruitment Fair. Thank you for taking the time to join us today and for your interest in making a difference in our community.
This event is more than just an opportunity to learn about local volunteering opportunities —it’s a chance to discover how your time, skills, and passion can have a meaningful and lasting impact on the causes that matter most. Whether you’re here to connect with a specific charity you’ve heard about or to explore how you can make a difference to one of the many different charities and voluntary groups in the room, we’re excited to help you find your place in this vibrant community.
Around the room, you’ll find representatives from across the VCSE Sector in West Berkshire, eager to share how you can get involved. You’ll learn about the critical work they are doing, hear inspiring stories from current volunteers, and have the opportunity to ask questions to ensure you find a role that’s the perfect fit for you.
We invite you to explore, ask questions, and, most importantly, imagine the difference you can make. Our VCWB team is here to guide and help you if you are not sure where to start, you will find us around the room in our orange shirts.
Enjoy the fair, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the West Berkshire Volunteering Community!
Rachel Peters, CEO
