Horsham District Council’s Voluntary Sector Support team hosted an open day in Horsham Town Centre on Saturday 2 July to help local people find out more about local charities, the type of work they do and the volunteering opportunities they have available.
Members of the public came along to meet recruiting community groups and charities on their stalls throughout the town.
Just some of the groups attending were: Horsham Rotary Club, The Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre, Citizens Advice, Community Transport Sussex, Horsham Matters, Springboard, Streetlight UK, Amberley Museum, Ten Little Toes Baby Bank, Sussex Clubs for Young People and Impact Initiatives – Advocacy.
Charities and community groups have been severely impacted recently by the effects of the pandemic and the need for new volunteers is ongoing.
There were hundreds of vacancies for many exciting positions on offer. If you missed the event and feel you would like to volunteer, please visit Volunteer Horsham District's website, email volunteering@horshamdistrict.co.uk or call the team on 01403 215191.
