Volunteer Centre West Lindsey
- Local Offer
Voluntary Centre Services is a registered charity operating Volunteer Centres in Lincoln, North Kesteven (Sleaford) and West Lindsey (Gainsborough). We provide support and advice about volunteering to prospective volunteers as well as support to charities and community organisations.
Finding the right volunteering opportunity is easy. When you contact your local Volunteer Centre you can arrange an informal appointment with a volunteer advisor. They will help you to identify suitable roles within your local community and get started with volunteering activities that you will find enjoyable and interesting.
There are lots of new and exciting opportunities being added to our database every day. You could be a befriender, treasurer, coach, first responder, wildlife or conservation volunteer…the possibilities are endless.
We also provide information and support for people wanting to access social groups and support services in their local area. We do this via telephone, email, post and face-to-face appointments.
Both our Volunteering and our Community Access appointments are free and are available at our Gainsborough office. Booking is not essential but is advised. Appointments can be booked online via our website: http://www.voluntarycentreservices.org.uk/ or by telephone: 01427 613470 or calling into the Guildhall reception.
Appointments can be arranged in Saxilby, Market Rasen and Caistor, by contacting the Gainsborough office to book.

- Description
Our supported volunteering project provides support to people who want to get into volunteering. We understand that trying something new can be daunting and that sometimes people need some extra support. We match individuals with a trained mentor, who can provide both guidance and support in finding the right voluntary role for them.
Mentors will work with you to help you achieve your goals, supporting you in a variety of ways. They look at skills you may already have, what you’re interested in and help you find something that suits your needs.
Whether you need a little help to start volunteering, have a disability, are recovering from mental ill health or just need a confidence boost, having a helping hand through the supported volunteering project could help get you started on your journey.
