What’s it all about?

At times when we do so much online, promoting volunteering with an in-person recruitment event is a great way to connect with people and to build relationships between organisations and potential volunteers on the spot. The event features stalls from local organisations, free refreshments, and lots of networking opportunities!

There are many reasons why we promote volunteering, it’s a great way to meet new people, get involved, get busy, learn new skills, pass on experience, help improve your own and others’ mental and physical health, help the environment, boost your CV and more.

Look through our photos & videos from previous Volunteer Recruitment Fairs:

If you are thinking about volunteering but not quite sure where to begin, or if you’re an organisation looking to recruit volunteers, then this event is perfect for you!
