Become a volunteer
Volunteers play a key role in providing social care in Salford.
Volunteers help provide services to vulnerable people. Some organisations run their own volunteer recruitment scheme, but you can also contact Volunteer Centre Salford. They can help you decide what voluntary work interests you.
Who can volunteer?
Most people can become volunteers. If you have problems finding paid work (older people, people with disabilities, people with mental health problems, people with criminal records etc.), there are opportunities in voluntary work.
What type of voluntary work is there?
There is a wide range of volunteering opportunities in Salford, such as:
- environmental work
- mentoring young people
- prison visiting
There are restrictions about who can volunteer for some projects, such as when working with particularly vulnerable people.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering has benefits to both you and the community. You will gain experience which can help get paid work, if that is what you want. Many people find that they enjoy 'giving something back' to their community, and they make good friends. It’s also an opportunity to try something completely different from what you usually do.
What should I do if I am interested?
