Volunteering

Our Volunteering team (Sam & Kelly) can help you find the perfect volunteering opportunities through our growing number of groups and organisations here in Newport.

We offer one-to-one appointments for an informal chat about the kinds of things you are interested in, such as being outdoors; working with children; using technology or caring for animals etc.

We then help you access an extensive range of volunteering opportunities through the Volunteering Wales Website.

To Register on the Volunteering Wales Website simply Register on the system then search for the opportunities by putting in relevant words such as "Befriending, Foodbanks" etc.
