Why volunteer

Volunteers can make a real difference to people’s lives. By getting involved you are telling a child, young people and their families that they are not alone and that they have someone who wants to help them.

Equally, as a volunteer you will be given full training and gain experience which could help you obtain new skills, keep active, change careers or enhance your C.V.

The Hampshire volunteer policy indicates what you can expect from us.
