Are you looking for a way to volunteer and give back to your local community and make a real difference in people’s lives? Look no further than volunteering with Wakefield’s best-kept secret – the Community Foundation Wakefield District. We provide essential support to those in need without judgment or red tape.
Whether you’re sorting donations, assisting customers, or helping to create care packages, your time and effort will make a huge difference in people’s lives.
Why should you volunteer with us?
- We offer direct, no-questions-asked assistance to those in crisis, unlike many other organisations with lengthy application processes. As a volunteer, you’ll see the immediate impact of your efforts on local people’s lives.
- From providing warm coats to those facing a cold winter to offering smart interview clothing for job seekers, our charity shop, The Community Give Box, helps people from all walks of life. Your work will help individuals in various situations, giving you a broad perspective on community needs.
- We believe in helping without judgment. As a volunteer, you’ll be part of a team that offers support to anyone who needs it, regardless of their background or circumstances. Knowing that your efforts directly contribute to improving someone’s life situation can bring immense personal satisfaction and a sense of purpose.
- The Community Give Box is more than just a charity shop. We collect donations and sell these pre-loved goods, but our shop actually gives away more than it sells. This is how we can help people in the most direct way possible.
- Many of the people we help are starting over. By volunteering, you’ll play a crucial role in providing household items and care packages that help individuals and families get back on their feet.
- Volunteering at The Community Give Box offers opportunities to develop retail skills, customer service experience, and organisational abilities.
- You’ll meet like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference. As Wakefield’s best-kept secret, you’ll be joining a dedicated team working tirelessly to support those in need.
- Whether you can offer a few hours a week or more, we appreciate all levels of commitment from our volunteers.
The Community Foundation Wakefield District is more than just a charity – it’s a lifeline for many in our community. By volunteering with us, you’re providing support to people when they need it the most.
