Volunteering

Volunteers are the backbone of communities, providing invaluable support to organisations, charities, and local initiatives. Their dedication and generosity help drive positive change, from supporting vulnerable individuals to preserving local heritage and running essential services. Without volunteers, many vital projects would struggle to function, making their contributions essential for fostering strong, connected, and thriving communities.

This week, from the 24th to the 28th of June, we are proudly celebrating Small Charity Week, marking our ninth year of honouring the incredible work done by small charities.  

Volunteers managing England’s 10,000+ rural community halls are being encouraged to ‘go green’ as part of the nationwide campaign which begins with a focus on what can be done to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings.

Cromer & District Foodbank has been up and running since 2012, so dealing with people’s individual crises is not new to the team, and they were well-experienced and equipped to deal with Covid-19 when it hit.
