Volunteering – Give a little time and get a lot back!

Ever thought you might enjoy giving some time to a worthwhile cause?

Ever thought that your chances of getting the job you really want would be improved by showing what you CAN do, even if you have no paid job experience?

Ever thought your confidence could use a boost or that your shyness is holding you back from doing what you really want?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then maybe becoming a volunteer at the Community House could help!

With just one or two hours a week you can make a big difference! We will give you training and support, and encourage you to learn new skills and get involved as much or as little as you want.

Maybe your employer would like to offer support for this valuable project by getting involved in sponsoring an activity, donating quipment or time or just by letting local people know about your company and the opportunities it has to offer.

So what is stopping you? Give us a call on 01903 215 799 or drop in for a chat and find out what you've been missing!
