This week 1st – 7th June is national Volunteer’s Week, and we are keen to acknowledge the contributions of the wide range of volunteers we have working with us. We are thankful to everyone who gives their time to develop the community into a better place for us all.
People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge.
Everyone whether Trustee, member or volunteer now and again every role has it’s merits and is an individual choosing to give some of their time back to the community.
These are the skill areas we are reaching out to see if anyone is willing to assist with:
Health and safety
Fundraising
Poster designer
Newsletter editor
Volunteer coordinator
Even if you can only spare an hour or two now and again that may make all the difference to us! Message us here https://ccdt.org.uk/contact-us/
