Volunteer Expression of Interest

Hello

We are so pleased you are thinking about volunteering! Volunteering is a chance to make a difference in the community where you live, but also it's great for you as a person. It helps with learning new things, making new friends and improving your wellbeing.

East Durham Trust want to help you have the best volunteering experience possible by helping you with advice, support and connections with our community partners.

This form asks for your contact details and a some information about your interests and thoughts about volunteering. If you are unsure of any of the questions, please leave it blank and we can come back to it together.

What will happen next?

After you submit the form, somebody will contact you to arrange a chat (either in person, over the phone or online). From there, we will identify the volunteering opportunities that might be a good match for you. We discuss these possibilities with you, and then work together with you to ensure you are well supported in volunteering.

Thanks for your time.
