Would you volunteer with Barnardo’s?

IT IS a new year and a new decade and children’s charity Barnardo’s is encouraging people to put their spare time to good use and volunteer with the charity.

Volunteering with Barnardo’s will help to support vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

With around 20,000 volunteers across the UK from all walks of life, ages and abilities, Barnardo’s is still keen to recruit more people in your area willing to donate their time in 2020. Volunteers offer their time in our shops, through fundraising activities and directly with children, young people and families.

There are also special opportunities for young volunteers and university students.

Volunteers get involved for many reasons: to support Barnardo’s work and cause; to do something unusual and inspiring or to learn new skills and improve their CV. It is also an opportunity to meet new people.

Whoever you are and however you choose to volunteer, you’ll be part of a supportive community coming together to transform children’s lives.

The contribution of our volunteers is invaluable and we simply couldn’t exist without their support. In turn we will support all Barnardo’s volunteers and provide full training to them.

If you’re interested in volunteering with Barnardo’s, please get in touch at www.barnardos.org.uk/ volunteering.
