WANT TO VOLUNTEER?

Volunteer Centre Derbyshire Dales can help you find the voluntary role that is right for you.

We are in touch with a wide range of local organisations that are looking for volunteers, and we are registered to input vacancies onto the national database of volunteer opportunities. Fill in the Quick Search on this page to search for opportunities near you - you'll be surprised at the variety of possibilities.

If you would like help in thinking about exactly what sort of role would suit you best, we have a Volunteering Development Officer who can meet with you and explore the options.

• Sam Tock (01629 810907) covers the northern part of the Derbyshire Dales, based in Bakewell.
• Debbie Webster (01335 218604) covers the southern part of the Derbyshire Dales based in Ashbourne.

VCDD also runs two schemes of its own, and we are always pleased to hear from volunteers who may want to help with these:

• Our Voluntary Car Scheme, which takes vulnerable people to medical appointments, is always keen to find new drivers - you'll need your own car, but we will pay a sensible mileage allowance to help cover your running costs
• The Readycall scheme provides Befriending and practical help to the isolated and disadvantaged. We need people with DIY skills as well as those who could help take people shopping or just call in regularly for a cup of tea

If you would like to find out more these schemes, give us a call on Ashbourne (01335) 344700 - or drop in and see us at Ashbourne Business Centre, above Swinton Insurance in Dig Street. We are open 10am to 1pm Monday to Friday.
