An upcoming event in Worcester is set to highlight the vital role of volunteering across the city, while offering residents the chance to explore a wide range of opportunities to get involved.
The Worcester Volunteer Expo 2025, the city's largest event of its kind, will take place at the Guildhall on Friday 6 June, running from 10am to 2pm.
More than 40 local organisations will be in attendance, ready to share information about how they support the community and the volunteering opportunities that they offer.
Councillor Jabba Riaz, Chair of Worcester City Council’s Communities Committee, said: “The Worcester Volunteer Expo is a fantastic opportunity for anyone curious about getting involved in local volunteering.
“Volunteers truly are the heartbeat of Worcester. Whether it’s protecting our green spaces, preserving our heritage, or promoting our city’s rich cultural life, their contributions help shape a stronger, more connected community.
“Every year, volunteers give hundreds of hours of their time, making a real difference to the services and support available in our city.
“Volunteering is not only a way to give something back to your community – it’s also a chance to develop new skills, meet people, and grow both personally and professionally.
“The Expo is a relaxed, drop-in event – there is absolutely no pressure to sign up on the day.
“I’d encourage anyone who has ever considered volunteering to come along and discover the wide variety of opportunities available in Worcester.”
