Volunteer

At The Cyrenians we are always looking for volunteers, people who want to make a difference. We welcome people from our own client groups, the local community, companies and businesses. Some to work on one-off projects, others with a regular commitment of time.

The activities range from working in our kitchens, in our shop, driving, painting, decorating and befriending those in need, we also welcome fresh ideas and will try and accommodate your individual volunteering ideas..

Volunteering benefits everyone; the volunteers themselves, our staff, our service users, the wider community and the environment. Each year we hold an annual celebration for The Cyrenians’ volunteers to celebrate their work and to say “thank you” for their dedication and giving up their time. Some individuals are recognised for special achievements.
