Volunteer
Help us work alongside people experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination to make a positive impact and help change lives.
We believe that volunteering should be a mutually beneficial experience where volunteers can contribute to our strategic goals and enjoy a fulfilling experience while also learning new skills.
We love that our volunteers have such a huge benefit on our organisation, bringing with them a range of skills and experience – and a huge amount of enthusiasm too!
We’re committed to providing a supportive environment for our volunteers, managing our relationships in a way that ensures the needs of both parties are met.
We aim to create a diverse and inclusive organisation – with a warm welcome guaranteed for everyone who joins our team.
“I love it and feel fulfilled doing it. I like to talk to some of the people who come into the centre too. Because I have volunteered for a while I do feel valued by the visitors as well as the staff.”
Service volunteer
“Volunteering at the Caritas Salford Lalley community allotment has enabled me to meet new friends, improve my health through farm work and increase my knowledge about organic farming and UK society.”
