The Borough of Elmbridge has well over a thousand volunteers, already active in some capacity, who give their time to make 
Elmbridge a better place to live. Helping children to read, delivering meals to house bound older people and improving the countryside are just a few of the roles available in this diverse Borough.
More volunteers are always required!!
If you are thinking of volunteering but haven't got the time, think again. You can volunteer for as little as two hours of your time a month. There are opportunities to work inside or out, evenings, weekdays or weekends and you can use your experience and/or gain new skills.
Volunteers can help the whole community, including the vulnerable, socially excluded or disabled people, children, young people and families, all of whom need support. Volunteering makes a difference to people's lives and as a volunteer; you gain by making new friends and possibly even learning new skills.
If you would like to volunteer for |opportunities to help at the Centres for Retired People, or with the Meals on Wheels service, please |contact the manager of your local Centre or complete the |on-line enquiry form.
For information on volunteering opportunities throughout Elmbridge, contact |Voluntary Action Elmbridge.
