BE THE REASON SOMEONE SMILES TODAY

This is the place to find out all about volunteering in the Tenterden area. Whether you are a charity searching for volunteers, or someone who is thinking about volunteering but is not sure where to start or what you would like to do.
Volunteering can be regular on a weekly or fortnightly basis, or can be a one-off, join our “As and When Volunteering Scheme” if regular volunteering isn’t right for you.
We also run a “Structured Volunteering Scheme” for people who are looking to get back into paid employment after being away from the workplace for a while.
If you can not find the information you need or would like to find out more about anything to do with volunteering, please contact Gill Ball who will be very happy to assist you. gillball@alphacharityconsulting.co.uk or phone 07774 958706
