The Volunteer Centre Fenland (VCF) helps the promotion and development of volunteering to benefit the people of Fenland – working with individuals, community groups, as well as voluntary and statutory agencies.
What to expect?
Whatever your age, interests or spare time, there are hundreds of groups you can help and ways you can get involved.
You can contact VCF directly by phone or email.
If new to the organisation you can complete a form via email to ask about what you would like to do and gain from volunteering.
If you need any help with this, a conversation can happen over the phone to discuss your support needs. They can help build confidence and find a suitable placement.
Erbie who leads in VCF will be happy to help you work out what your interests are, what support needs are, and when you’re ready they can offer support with CV building and exploring the experiences and passions you already have.
Professionals can also refer people to the VCF.
