Volunteering opportunities

Volunteering makes a positive impact in your community but it can also have many benefits for you. Volunteering can enable you to learn new skills and meet new people. You can also gain valuable experience that you can take into your future career. You can explore an area of work that interests you or try something completely different.

If your role as a volunteer brings you into contact with vulnerable people, try our Trigger Tool e-learning course. This will help you to recognise possible signs or situations which may trigger a concern around someone’s safety, independence or physical / mental wellbeing.

It will help you to think about:
  - what people can do to help themselves
  - who or what may already be supporting them to stay independent for longer
  - what additional help or resources may be available

It includes a helpful resource section with links to information, advice and support services.
