Volunteer

We have a wide range of rewarding volunteering opportunities across all of our services during the daytime, evenings and weekends.

You could choose to support adults or children with learning disabilities at our social clubs, in groups including cooking, art, sports, digital media and creative writing, or out in the community. Volunteers can also support with the day-to-day running of our busy centre such as admin, gardening, maintenance or fundraising.

We also offer corporate/group volunteering opportunities – find out more here.

We don’t need you to have any specific skills or experience. All we ask is that you are enthusiastic and willing to get involved. It’s also important you like to have fun!

It was a day of hard work, big laughs, and even bigger impact and a true example of the Westfield Way in action. Huge thanks to Sheffield Mencap and Gateway for welcoming us and for everything they do in our community.
