Professional Volunteering

Use your hard-earned skills to make a difference

Professional volunteering offers the opportunity to use and develop your skills while making a meaningful impact. Unlike traditional hands-on volunteering, professional volunteering involves taking on roles such as:

  • Non-executive director
  • Charity trustee
  • School, college, or provider governor
  • Magistrate
  • Providing specialist skills in marketing, finance, bid writing, HR, and more

Below you’ll find useful links to volunteering opportunities where businesses and individuals can explore ways to get involved.
