Croydon Voluntary Action relies on volunteers to provide a great welcome to our busy centres. We also need people to help with the administration of linking potential volunteers to charities and community projects across the borough.
These are great roles for developing your skills while helping people across our community get involved in local projects.
From time to time we ask individuals that are applying to volunteer with us if they are happy to be added to a waiting list. We ask this if we have limited space as this is a very popular role. We will, however, have this conversation at the point of application.
