Do you have some time on your hands coming up? Maybe your children are going back to school or off to University? Maybe you are coming up to retirement? Or you are thinking of trying a new career? Maybe you would like to meet new people, gain new skills or gain some more confidence? Whatever the reason, volunteering is for you! Volunteering can be very flexible and fit around other commitments. There is something for everyone!

Local charities rely on their amazing volunteers to help deliver this support and without them, they could not continue. Winter pressures and the cost of living crisis means these organisations need even more help. To help these organisations to find more volunteers, The Volunteer Centre West Berkshire will be hosting a Volunteer Recruitment event (V365 2023)  at the Corn Exchange Newbury  on Saturday 14th January 2023,  10am-3pm.

2. Do something fulfilling and rewarding.
3. Meet new people and make new friends.
4. Share and gain professional work experience
