Volunteering
Why volunteer?
We encourage people to move onto a volunteering activity as this will help them to gain confidence and increase their work and communication skills.
In partnership with West Lancashire CVS and Preston CVS we can offer over 200 volunteering opportunities covering a wide variety of activities, ranging from working with old people or young people, working outdoors in conservation projects, or in a charity shop.
