A VARIETY of volunteering opportunities across the Malvern Hills District will be showcased with the return of the virtual fair from 9am to 4pm next Friday, January 20.
Organised by Malvern Hills District Council, the fair boasts a variety of roles, including working at a charity shop or library, helping to look after natural habitats, volunteering at a dementia centre, providing community transport, dog walking or befriending someone who may feel isolated.
The fair will be held on the council’s Facebook page highlighting vacancies available through the Malvern Hills District Volunteering Forum.
Organisations are also being encouraged to share their vacancies using the hashtag #MHDVolunteerFair.
Malvern Hills District Volunteering Forum is a network of over 30 local groups and charities who work with volunteers in the district.
They come together twice a year to share updates, discuss issues and collaborate.
Any organisations, groups or charities that work with volunteers in the district is welcome to join the forum.
The last virtual volunteer fair in June 2022, saw more than 19 volunteering groups and charities post their opportunities, reaching more than 19,000 people on Facebook with over 400 link clicks throughout the day and 40 post shares.
Coun Tom Wells, Malvern Hills District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Community Services, said the Virtual Volunteer Fair always provided a great opportunity to discover opportunities to suit all ages and abilities.
“Dedicating time to help others is a wonderful thing and is not only very fulfilling but it is also a brilliant addition to your CV.”
