Want to volunteer in Camden?

Come and see us at our office in Kentish Town on Wednesday 8th January between 10am and 12pm. We will be on hand to help you do a search for volunteering in Camden (and a bit beyond), as well as answer any questions you may have about volunteering.

Please note: Our drop-ins are for people who need extra support to get started with their volunteering. People who get the most out of drop-ins:

• need extra support to use a computer
• are not sure what they would like to do as a volunteer – and would like to talk about the options available before they apply
• are unable to access the internet elsewhere

There is no need to book. Just drop in! 🙂

Volunteer Centre Camden is at 2 Grafton Yard, London, NW5 2ND. Check out this link to a map of where we are with directions on how to get here.

Please note: If you have access to the internet, are comfortable using computers and you know what you want to do as a volunteer then you can do an online search now via Simply Connect – and there is no need to come to the drop-in.  

Come to our January 2020 Volunteering Fair, meet local organisations recruiting volunteers … and find your perfect volunteering role.

Did you know that volunteering is good for you? Studies show that volunteering can improve and maintain your mental and physical health, and well as helping with the effects of stress, anxiety and low self esteem. And the social contact of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological wellbeing. Good times!

So drop by, and say hello on Wednesday 29th January, 12-2.30pm in the heart of Islington at Islington Assembly Hall, Upper Street, N1 2UD.

We are once again joining forces with our good friends @ Volunteer Centre Islington to bring you this fair. Nice one!

As always, there’s no need to book. Just pop in.

*** However, if you are a non-profit that wants to recruit volunteers in Camden or Islington at the fair, then book your free place via eventbrite. 

>> We are particularly looking to offer micro-volunteering opportunities at this fair.Do you have anything that attendees could drop in and do in less than two hours? If so email us to let us know.

We look forward to seeing you there.  🙂

Good to know: You can search for 100s of volunteering roles in and around Camden 24/7 by using Simply Connect, the online search tool on our website. It’s completely self serve and gives you direct access to the organisations that are looking for volunteers.
