The Volunteer Centre Forest of Dean is here to help you find the volunteering opportunity that’s right for you.  We provide information about opportunities by telephone, letter, email or personal interview – whatever suits you best.

 

There are many benefits to volunteering, both on personal and work related levels. You can:

 

• Make friends and meet people
• Help your community
• Improve your job prospects
• Develop existing skills
• Gain new skills
• Build your confidence
• Enhance your CV
• Face new opportunities and challenges
• Get a reference
• Enjoy yourself!!

 

We can provide contact details, make introductions and we’ll help with any queries or problems that may arise once you’re volunteering.

 

You can talk to us in confidence and without commitment.  We’ll give you information, but you make the decisions.

 

Our service is available to anyone regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic origin, faith, or mental or physical disability and we may be able to help with travel expenses if you visit the office for a booked appointment

 

You can access many of our opportunities by visiting the national volunteering database www.do-it.org.uk and you can also contact us direct on information about volunteering opportunities or any other volunteering issues by emailing us on volunteer@fvaf.org.uk You can also phone or come to the office to make an appointment – our opening hours are 9am to 1 pm Monday to Friday.
