Volunteering in Oxfordshire

Volunteers can give unpaid help to a community, a charity, local clubs or voluntary organisations.

This can mean anything from coaching a sports team or helping a neighbour to more formal roles such as being a school governor, a county councillor, or a board member of a charity.

Volunteer Centre Oxfordshire

You'll have the chance to work with young people, families, disabled people, older people and animals. You could work on environmental projects, in a charity's offices or in a charity shop. Organisations also advertise with the centre for volunteers with management, IT, marketing and other professional skills.
