Volunteering

Volunteering is the giving of unpaid help and a commitment of time and energy by individuals for the benefit of society, the community or the environment. We recognise the value of volunteering, and the benefits volunteers bring to people’s quality of life.

In Central Bedfordshire volunteers of all ages add great value to the delivery of many local services (delivered by the public, voluntary and community sectors), which many vulnerable people are dependent upon.
