“This event offers a fantastic chance for anyone considering volunteering to find out what it’s really like. Even giving just a few hours a month can make a huge difference. We work closely with each individual to find a role that suits their interests, skills, and availability.”

The Overgate Volunteers team is eager to meet everyone, learn more about what motivates them, and help find the perfect volunteering role for every individual. Whether retired, working, studying, or simply looking for a way to give back locally, all are welcome to come along, enjoy a cuppa, and see how they can become part of something truly special.

No booking is necessary – just drop in!
