• You’ll be part of the wider network of Action 21 volunteers, receiving regular updates and information on our projects and invites to our well attended volunteer socials.

Times needed:
Volunteers usually commit to a minimum of 1 shift of 3 ½ hours per week (9:30am-1pm or 1pm-4:30pm, Tue-Sat) but please speak to us about your circumstances are there is some flexibility.
We also have a weekend rota (as most people can’t commit to volunteering every weekend) which means you can help out as little as 3 ½ hours every 4-6 weeks.
