Volunteering
Our volunteers are at the heart of our work. They help welcome people, support our team and extend the reach of our services to those who need them most.
You do not need specialist experience.
What matters is kindness, patience and a willingness to learn.
Volunteering can help you:
- Build confidence and new skills
- Meet people and feel part of the community
- Support those facing difficult circumstances
- Make a genuine difference to someone’s day
What we offer
We offer training, guidance and ongoing support, and we welcome volunteers from all walks of life.
If you have specialist skills in areas such as
- Marketing
- Fundraising
- Debt advice
- Legal knowledge
- ...or similar experience that can help our users
We’d love to hear from you.
If you would like to explore volunteering with us, please get in touch, and we can talk through where you might feel most comfortable.

Your support helps us provide free, independent advice to people who may have nowhere else to turn.
We also work with businesses looking to support local charities through sponsorship, hosted events or staff fundraising. If your organisation has Corporate Social Responsibility commitments, we can help you create meaningful community impact.
