Can you give an hour?
Volunteering is a great way to get involved within your local community. Meet new people, learn new skills and make a difference.
We’re asking all residents across Herefordshire to give an hour by volunteering.
If everyone gave an hour, it would generate an estimated 192,000 hours of support to our local communities. Whether you want to arrange a litter pick, befriend someone in a care home, or help out at your local parkrun, there’s something for everybody to get involved with.
More opportunities will be added as soon as we get them.
Can give more than an hour? that’s even better!
