The Big Help Out: Monday 8th May
Lend a Hand. Make a Change.
To mark The King’s Coronation, thousands of organisations across the country are getting together to give us all the chance to help out in our own local communities.
You’ll find volunteering opportunities big and small, with something to suit helping hands of all shapes and sizes. Take a look at the list below to find an opportunity to help out in your neighbourhood!
If you need a bit of help with choosing or applying to be a volunteer, you can talk to Becky and Abdul from our Volunteering Team. They will be able to advise you and give you any extra support that you need. You can text, phone or WhatsApp them on 07776588691 or get in touch by email at volunteer@tslkirklees.org.uk.
