West Lancs CVS Volunteer Centre has recruited thousands of volunteers for hundreds of West Lancs organisations over its long history.
We are part of the national network coordinated by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO).
The Volunteer Centre currently recruits volunteers for over 200 organisations and has a huge range of volunteering opportunities available.
If you’re interested in volunteering – for a few hours a month or full time – we can find something to suit you.
People choose to volunteer for lots of different reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to their community or make a difference to the people around them.
For others it’s an opportunity to develop new skills, expand their CV or build on existing experience and knowledge.
Have a look at this one minute YouTube video to see five inspirational volunteering stories:
Volunteers can do all sorts of things, from helping at a nursery, doing conservation work, to helping at a day centre.
Volunteering has many positive benefits and gives you a chance to:
- build on your skills
- improve your self esteem
- gain work experience
- improve your CV
- explore other possible careers
- make new friends
- make a difference to your community
We asked some local volunteers why they volunteer and what they get out of it….
