Volunteering will enable you to make an important contribution to your local community. There are more volunteering opportunities than you might imagine.
Getting involved with your community can be very satisfying and the range of voluntary work is vast, giving volunteers the opportunity to:
-
Learn new skills or use existing skills
-
Develop interests
-
Make a contribution to the community
-
Meet people and make new friends
-
Help bring about social change, and
-
Have fun
3VA produces a Volunteering Opportunities List which offers information on volunteering opportunities in the Eastbourne and surrounding areas.
To find out more, please telephone 01323 639373.
You can also log on to the Do-It-website. This website has details of volunteering opportunities both locally and nationally.
3VA also hosts the East Sussex Volunteer Development Project, working in partnership with organisations within the voluntary, community and statutory sectors to raise awareness of the diversity of volunteering opportunities available and to develop appropriate structures to ensure organisations can continue to support their current and future volunteers.
The Project also collects data to monitor any trends that will help the sector respond and manage their volunteers effectively. You can contact the Volunteer Development Project Officer on 01323 639373.
