Volunteering in the UK with CSV

Volunteers make a massive difference to the UK. From providing advice and friendship to troubled families, helping children to read at school, or empowering people with disabilities to live independently.
 

You can give something back and give yourself a new sense of purpose, learn valuable new skills, and make new friends. Volunteer with CSV and you will get as much out of the experience as the people and community you help.

We all need volunteers like Andrew above, who mentors a young person in care but it doesn't end there. We want you to join the 160,000+ people that volunteer with CSV every year.

We believe that everybody has something to give, and to gain.

We have volunteering opportunities for people aged 50 and over, enabling you to share your skills, knowledge and full life experience to with people of all ages within your community.

Provide support and guidance to some of the most vulnerable people in society through one of our many mentoring and befriending programmes.

Take the time to give positive support and practical help to a family with children on child protection plans.

Support a person with a disability to take an active role in your communities through volunteering - helping them to help others and develop their independence.

Volunteer for up to a year, perhaps as a student gap year, and make a real difference to someone's life. We'll train and support you all the way.
