Many opportunities for you to help out

Volunteering can be a Pathway to Employment or a preparation for an active and rewarding retirement. The Cirencester Community Development Trust are launching a database of volunteers so if you have any time, from a few minutes to a few hours there will be a volunteering opportunity for you. If you would like a regular slot, to work on a rota with others, giving a day a week or a day a month register with our web site and we will pass your details to a local charity or organisation in need of your services

Why not Volunteer?
