Christmas volunteering 

The festive season, which is a great time to get involved in volunteering is fast approaching. Not only are you giving your time to a good cause but you are potentially helping people who may not find Christmas such a festive time, such as people without families, those who are alone or people sleeping rough on the streets.

For students staying in Manchester over Christmas it’s also an opportunity for you to get out and about meeting people, spending your time on something worthwhile and feeling good about yourself. 

Volunteer Centre Manchester will have lots of festive opportunities soon that you can get involved in, giving you the opportunity to become a volunteer 'elf' and get involved in your local area.
On Volunteer Hub we are currently advertising a range of roles volunteering to help older people, refugees, those experiencing homelessness and many others for whom Christmas can be a challenging time. Many of these roles are looking for people long -term but Christmas may be a great time to get started! For example:
  • Mustard Tree is looking for Food Club Volunteers, as well as many other opportunities to help support to Manchester's homeless community  
  • Cracking Good Food needs volunteer cooking assistants
  • The Widows Empowerment Trust is looking for Christmas party volunteers.

To find out more about the wide range of opportunities available to you in Manchester and aroound, go to Volunteer Hub

Outlined above is just a small example of the opportunities available for you to get involved with on Volunteer Hub. To search all opportunities, go to Volunteer Hub and see what takes your interest.
