Volunteer taster sessions at Uniform Exchange over the weekend June 7 to 9, 2024

People can come and volunteer to help us here at Uniform Exchange anytime over one weekend in June.

Uniform Exchange is part of the Big Help Out project in Kirklees which gives people the chance to try different volunteering roles.

It runs from Friday, June 7 to Sunday, June 9 and there will be lots of great taster volunteering activities across Kirklees.

People will have the opportunity to find out more about some fantastic charities and organisations doing good things in the local area.

Becky Bracey, volunteer services lead at Third Sector Leaders in Kirklees, said: “We are delighted that the Big Help Out is back to showcase some fantastic ways to volunteer in our local community.

“People often tell us they don’t have time to help but volunteering has changed and there are now so many ways to volunteer that are flexible and still make a difference.

“We know that volunteering has lots of benefits for the volunteer too, including making new connections, improving wellbeing and boosting your CV.

“We hope the Big Help Out will inspire more people to get involved in volunteering in Kirklees.”

Here at Uniform Exchange we have taster volunteer session on Friday 7th, Saturday 8th or Sunday 9th June from 10am to 2pm each day at our base in Lockwood.
