Information for volunteers
Voluntary organisations always need volunteers and the Volunteer Centre Bromley can match your skills with the organisations that need them.
Volunteering can take many forms:
- Administration, fundraising, marketing or being a committee member/trustee
- Shopping, driving, gardening or DIY for sick, elderly or disabled people
- Working with people or organisations that support vulnerable individuals
- Supporting people in education, numeracy and literacy
Volunteering requires time and commitment, but it can bring many rewards, such as new friends, personal satisfaction, confidence building and work experience.
If you would like to come and see us for an informal, confidential chat, please contact us on 020 8315 1905 to arrange an appointment.
Alternatively, to see the volunteering opportunities that are registered with us please go to
You can register on-line for any opportunity that interests you.
Get on Board campaign
Voluntary and community organisations all need trustees or committee members to run the organisation. People with a range of skills and experiences are needed to contribute to the planning and running of an organisation.
The level of commitment can vary from one organisation to another but generally you would be required to attend regular monthly or bi-monthly meetings, often in the evening, and carry out other tasks that would match your skills or knowledge.
