Place-based volunteering

We work across the country building stronger communities through the power of volunteering. Here you can find out more about some of the communities that we are working in and the impact it is making.

At Volunteering Matters, we believe that communities hold the power, knowledge, and energy to create lasting change from within. We work with people, not just for them, partnering closely with local communities to support the issues that matter most to them. Through volunteering, community organising, and small acts of kindness, we help people come together to improve their lives and solve local challenges.

Our projects are deeply rooted in the places we serve, tailored to address the specific needs of each community. Whether through mentoring young people, supporting older people, or championing youth social action, our volunteers are creating real impact where it matters most.
