One Off Events and Micro-Volunteering tasks

We are creating a bank of volunteers who are on standby to help out both at times of great opportunity and at times of crisis. Opportunities to volunteer will come in the form of VIP visits, cultural festivals or micro tasks that can be done in the comfort of your own home.

Micro volunteering is perfect for busy people who'd like to get involved and help charities, but don't have much time to give.

The opportunities/tasks might be suitable for all ages, and all types of people, as well as groups of people (families, work colleagues etc).

Being a part of these exciting opportunties will allow us to showcase all the good things happening within the city, as well as supporting national charities.

Your details will be added to our list, and we will contact you via email when an opportunity you are interested in becomes available. There is no obligation for you to do any or all of the opportunities. If you would like to sign up all you need to do is respond to our email. It's as easy as that!
