At W3RT, we believe that volunteering is at the heart of every successful community. We’ve worked for over fifty years to ensure that our vibrant and diverse community benefits from voluntary groups that are welcoming, effective, accountable and sustainable as well as to ensure that people can contribute to the design and delivery of the services on which they rely.

We also work to promote volunteerism within our communities so that as many people, businesses and communities can benefit from volunteering as possible.

  • We know that volunteering is extremely rewarding and has many benefits, and it does not matter how long you volunteer for, everything you do will make a difference through volunteering will make a difference to our communities. If you aren’t sure where to start with volunteering, have a look at some of our blogs below:
