Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to support your community, meet new people, and build skills. We share local opportunities regularly — and we can help you find something that suits you. Tell us what you’re interested in — we’ll help match you with something suitable.

Why volunteer?
People volunteer for many reasons — to give something back, meet new people, or develop skills. Whatever your reason, there are opportunities across Sutherland that can fit around your life.
If we can’t find a role that suits you straight away, we’ll work with local groups to explore options.
Volunteering can help you to:
- Build confidence
- Make a difference
- Meet new people
- Be part of a community
- Learn new skills
- Take on a new challenge
Support for local groups
Volunteering often happens through local groups — we support those groups with guidance and practical help.
Things to ask yourself
- What kinds of roles are you interested in?
