Volunteering Opportunities
Volunteering opportunities help local residents gain practical experience, develop new skills and build confidence in a supportive environment.

As part of our wider Employability Programme, your work experience can complement our conversational English, employability skills, industry-specific sessions, CV and LinkedIn support, mock interviews, volunteering and opportunities to meet employers.
