Find volunteering opportunities

Volunteering

Volunteering means giving your time to help others.

You don’t get paid, but it can be a good way to get work experience.

When you volunteer, you can:

• make a difference in other people’s lives
• meet new people and build your confidence
• try out different jobs and learn new skills that can help you get a paid job

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

This award is open to anyone aged 14 to 24.
