Volunteering for a charity is a great way to spend your spare time, use your existing skills and experience to help others, meet like minded people and perhaps pick up some new skills too! You can volunteer with York Carers Centre as little or as often as you’d like. Our committed group of volunteers are an important part of our work supporting unpaid carers in York.
Volunteers are involved in many ways, including helping at groups, helping with workshops / activities for young carers, young adult carers and adult carers, supporting fundraising and awareness-raising events, making one-to-one welfare and telephone listening calls, providing counselling and helping with office/admin tasks.
We have a number of roles that we advertise for regularly. In addition, we are always keen to have a chat with volunteers about specific skills and experience and will do our best to match volunteers to existing roles or perhaps develop something new!
