Volunteering - Introduction

Ever thought about what you could do in your spare time?

You’re young, you’ve got the energy and you have the ambition to exceed in life. But everything doesn’t come on a plate you know. These days you need experience to get anywhere and what better way is there than to come through a recruitment agency who will provide you with free information and advice.

What do Prince William, Davina McCall and Trevor Nelson have in common? They are all volunteers, of course! Even the rich and the famous have given some free time to help their community.

At the Kensington and Chelsea Volunteer Bureau we offer a wide range of opportunities, in fact over 300 vacancies. Whether you are studying, working or unemployed there is something for everyone.

We have many opportunities ranging from general administration, youth work, and teaching, to making your stand in the media. We can place you with organisations that broadcast their programmes on digital TV and you can be part of that process. Who knows - you may be the next Spielberg, Spike Lee, Davina McCall or Martin Bashir in the making!

These are just some of the things you can achieve by volunteering

• Get involved in something that really interests you
• Have lots of fun
• Try something completely different
• Put your experience on your CV
• Get involved in the local community
• Use your creativity and develop exciting projects
