Volunteers

Do you want to volunteer?
Volunteering is simple. It's about giving your time to do something useful, without getting paid (apart from expenses). In return you get the satisfaction of time and effort well spent. In addition, volunteering can be a great way to meet new people, learn new skills and gain valuable experience. Volunteer Centre Lambeth, an LVAC project, can help you to find volunteer opportunities in Lambeth and beyond. We have many charities and community groups who need volunteers and are waiting to hear from you.

Are you an unemployed Lambeth resident looking to develop work related skills?
If so, volunteer with the Elevate Project!

Elevate is a new project which aims to help you to develop skills for employment. We will support you to find a volunteering placement of your choice, as well as offering you one-to-one support throughout the programme. There is also a fantastic training programme available to you once you register.

The FREE programme of support includes:

• A personal development plan - your chance to list what skills you would like to develop and how
• Free training courses on communication, confidence building, customer service, CV writing and preparation for interviews plus much more
• Support sessions where you will be able to discuss your volunteer placement and talk to other volunteers who are enrolled on the Elevate programme
• Regular e-bulletins and newsletters with information about employment and volunteering

You would need to be willing to volunteer for a minimum of 70 hours over a period of 3-6 months.

Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, meet new people, improve your CV and give something back to your community. So, if you have been unemployed for over 6 months and are a Lambeth resident who wants to gain work related skills, then this project could be just what you need!
