Gosport Volunteer Centre

Gosport Volunteer Centre recruits and support local people who want to volunteer and we also support organisations that require volunteers. Whatever your situation, skills or experience, we will do our best to find you enjoyable voluntary work in the local area of Gosport, Fareham and Portsmouth. Anyone can volunteer as long as they have a little time to spare and are enthusiastic!

You may want to give something back to the community. You may be hoping to get back to work or you may just want to meet new people!

We match people who want to do voluntary work with local community groups who need volunteers.

Here are some of the things you can do

• Help at a day centre for older people

• Give advice or counselling or become a mentor

• Befriend older people who are housebound

• Become a Committee Member or Trustee

• Carry out practical conservation work

• Drive people in a mini-bus or your own car

• Help in a charity shop

• Work with children or young people

• And much more...

Or we can be found on the ground floor office at Martin Snape House, 96 Pavilion Way, Gosport which is behind 'Morrison’s' supermarket in Gosport High Street.
