We’re delighted to be hosting a special Volunteer Awareness and Recruitment Event on Tuesday 3rd June 2025, from 10:30am to 2:30pm, as part of this year’s Volunteers’ Week.
Organised by Barnsley CVS, this free drop-in event is open to everyone and provides the perfect opportunity to explore how volunteering can make a real difference—both in the community and for the individuals who get involved.
A wide range of local charities, community groups, and voluntary organisations will be in attendance to:
- Share information about current volunteer opportunities
- offer insight into the work they do across Barnsley
- Provide one-to-one advice on how to get started with volunteering
Confirmed attendees include Barnsley Borough City of Sanctuary, DIAL Barnsley, The Carers Garden, Barnsley Hospice, Citizens Advice Barnsley, and many more.
The event will also feature Barnsley Council, who will be relaunching their ‘Love Where You Live’ campaign—an inspiring borough-wide initiative to bring people together and celebrate pride in place through social action, volunteering and neighbourhood support.
Last year’s event saw many meaningful connections made between local organisations and potential volunteers.
Whether you’re completely new to volunteering or looking for your next opportunity, this event will give you the chance to meet friendly faces, explore meaningful roles, and find the right fit for your skills and interests.
No booking is required—just drop in anytime between 10:30am and 2:30pm
Anyone who attends the event will be entered into a prize draw to win a pair of Barnsley FC home game tickets to be used within a year!
