Volunteering

Come and be part of a vibrant caring team where you can share your skills and learn some new ones. The Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre recognises the valuable contribution to the service made by volunteers and actively encourages their participation because it:
  • Enables the service to gain from the wide experience out in the community
  • Allows for wider community participation in the service
  • Provides the opportunity for work experience and the development of new skills in volunteers

The types of Volunteer Work available at the Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre include:
  • The More than a Meal Volunteers
  • Community Support Assistant
  • Food Recovery Sorting Team Member
  • Garden Maintenance
  • Cleaners
