Newham's Volunteers

Want to volunteer?

Volunteering is a great way to give something back to the community, and to make use of spare time. It makes a difference to your local area and the people who live there. It’s also a fun, rewarding way to meet new people, improve the environment and the lives of others, and pick up new skills. It doesn’t matter if you can spare a little time, or a lot, there’s lots of ways to get involved and improve your community.

• We currently have 18 registered organisations using our system to advertise volunteer roles. We usually have at least 60+ different opportunities on offer in a variety of areas -from Environmental volunteering to Public Health, from tea dances with the elderly to the London Marathon.
