How Can
We Help?
Our volunteers bring energy, experience and kindness to services across the Liverpool City Region and North Wales.
People join us to help others, build confidence, meet new people, share existing skills or gain experience for their future.
Try something new in a welcoming environment and recognise what you have to offer.
Develop practical knowledge and experience that can support your personal or career goals.
Become part of a team, make connections and contribute to your local community.
Use your time and experience to support people and services that matter.
Volunteer opportunities change throughout the year and depend on what our services need. They may include helping at activities and events, supporting community projects, assisting at Liverpool Watersports Centre or sharing practical and administrative skills.
You do not need to know exactly what role you want before contacting us. Tell us about your interests, availability and what you would like to gain, and we can discuss current opportunities.

Not always. This depends on the role. Many opportunities are suitable for people looking to gain experience, and relevant training will be provided.
This varies by opportunity. Some roles need a regular commitment, while others may be linked to particular activities or events.
Agreed lunch and travel expenses are provided so that volunteering does not leave you out of pocket.
Some roles may require a DBS check because of the people or service involved. We will explain any checks before you begin.
Volunteering can help you build confidence, skills and experience, but it does not guarantee employment.
