Volunteering offers a unique chance to connect with your community, meet new people, and develop valuable skills—all while making a positive impact.

Be the Change You Want to See in Sheffield
Volunteering lies at the heart of Sheffield’s vibrant community. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or just starting out, there are endless opportunities across the city for you to make a difference. By supporting local charities or engaging in community projects, you’ll not only help others, but also enrich your own life.
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering isn’t just about giving back—it’s an opportunity for personal growth and connection. It’s a chance to meet like-minded people, develop new skills, and even boost your career prospects. Imagine cooking with FoodCycle, transforming surplus food into nutritious meals for those in need, or lending a hand at St Vincent’s Community Shop, where your presence can make someone’s day by sorting donations and assisting customers.
