Community support
  • A volunteer making crafts surrounded by a group of people

    Abigail - Harborough Museum volunteer

    “I volunteer because I absolutely love history and want it to be part of my life. Volunteering at Harborough Museum gives me the opportunity to be around history and be a part of my community.”
  • Country park rangers feeding the cows

    Paul - Country Parks volunteer

    “I have found that over the 25 years of volunteering there is more to do and an ever-increasing reliance on volunteers. This makes our jobs even more important and essential to the services we support. I’d strongly encourage anyone to volunteer."
  • A Youth Mentor having a conversation with a young person

    Nigel - Youth Mentor

    “It is extremely important for young people to have positive role models. The young people that we spend time with are sometimes lacking in self-confidence. It’s very satisfying to be able to make a difference to someone's life."
  • Two young girls and foster carer baking in kitchen

    Christine and Tony - Independent Visitors

    “There is just so much fun! We are there to be supportive, to be extended help to the foster parents… to be a role model, to reassure the young person. We couldn’t have been matched with better – we have an absolute ball!”
  • Two women laughing and giving each other a high-five

    Chris - Home Library Service volunteer

    “I’ve always loved reading and it’s a joy and a privilege to be able to carry on this service to people who can no longer come from their homes into the library. I love visiting my clients and have gotten to know them well."
  • Flashing police lights

    Mayuri - Appropriate Adult and Community Panel member

    "We deliver a core part of the service. The Youth and Justice Service works with children aged 10-18 years and offers exciting volunteering opportunities."
  • 30,000 trees were given away in 2021

    Judy - Environment Action volunteer

    "I would definitely recommend volunteering as an Environment Action Volunteer if you have an interest in the natural world and in doing the right things for the environment. The training and support provided has been great!"
