Volunteering in Oxfordshire

Volunteering is a great way to spend your free time, and a brilliant way to feel useful, meet new friends, and learn new skills. If you're a young person in Oxfordshire, there are several ways you can find out about volunteering opportunities.

• Contact the Vinvolved Team: They have access to almost 1,000 local opportunities for young volunteers, and can support you to find the opportunity that's right for you, from interesting long-term placements to taster sessions to one-off events like festivals and street parties. Call their main office on 01865 600983, visit the Vinvolved Team Oxfordshire website or email vteam@ocvys.org to find out more.
• Contact your local connexions centre; they have lists of voluntary and personal development opportunities updated weekly.
