Supporting our city and communities
Most people have more than one reason for volunteering. As well as wanting to help others you may want to express your gratitude for services to a family member. Volunteers may be motivated to help within their community or because they want to retain a skill, or develop and obtain experience in a new field. Some people are looking to make new friends, utilise spare time, or just add something to their CV. Whatever your reason, volunteering can be rewarding and improve your health and wellbeing.
If you are already a volunteer, looking to expand your experience or you are thinking of becoming a volunteer for the first time, Sunderland City Council have developed a booklet to help you. If you are not registered as a volunteer yet, please click here or visit the Sunderland Council Website.

This booklet of Sunderland Volunteering opportunities has been developed with with the Voluntary and Community Sector and other key partners, to highlight the volunteering opportunities which are available on an geographical basis as well as city-wide across Sunderland. You can look through and see which opportunity you are interested in, the contact details are included for the project/organisation so you can contact them directly. If organisations know all of the reasons why you wish to volunteer, they will be better placed to ensure that your volunteering needs and aspirations are fulfilled.
