Volunteering

Volunteers are at the heart of charities and community groups, making a difference to the lives of people across Buckinghamshire. 

If you are a not-for-profit group or charity, we can help you put in place the best experience for your volunteers – from support to recruit, manage and retain volunteers to helping you develop a volunteering strategy.
