Volunteer
Our work is made possible by a fantastic team of volunteers. Every one of them gives their time for free to support the people who use our service and promote our charity. It makes a real difference.
Volunteers tell us about the difference it makes to their lives too. For some it is about the social connection, for others it gives them new skills which they can use in paid work. Other people volunteer as a way to try something new or as a new way to support BWBF.
We are always looking for volunteers. Whatever your reasons for wanting to volunteer and however much time you have to give, please get in touch. We would be glad to have you on board.
The team at BWBF is like another little family. Knowing that little bit of my time once a week brings sound and joy into so many lives... It doesn’t get better than that.
