Volunteer

Develop valuable skills whilst helping others

Do you have some free time? Would you like to help other women whilst gaining transferable skills and building your confidence? Then why not become a volunteer at the centre!

Volunteer Development Programme

We want our volunteers to get as much as possible out of volunteering with us. With this in mind we set up our Volunteer Development Programme.

This project is designed to encourage women in the West Hampstead and Kilburn area to volunteer in a range of activities, and through this volunteering to gain work experience, confidence and skills. We aim to promote the take up of training and community involvement amongst local marginalised women.

What type of volunteering can I do?

There are many women volunteering to provide peer support to other women in the community. Our aim is to give this work a greater level of recognition and to encourage our volunteers to value the skills they provide and offer.
