National volunteer 30th Anniversary which is celebrated annually is back from 1st to 7th June 2018.

Residents can be great help to the community through volunteering which will benefit people of Lambeth.

In the month of June the volunteers achievements are acknowledged during the National Volunteer Week, it is also a time when more people are encouraged to volunteer to help improve Lambeth borough.

Establishments in the vicinity of Lambeth like Citizen Advice, Age UK, Health Watch and Volunteers Lambeth Drug are asking for people who are able to commit at least 3 days a week from their schedule to join these wonderful establishment.

The volunteer week scheme is a way for the public to be more aware on how such establishment work and the duties that is required. It is a very good way to boost confidence and work in an unfamiliar field.
