Benefits of Volunteering for Citizens Advice Warrington
Our volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, including young people, people who want to broaden their horizons and retired people who want to give something back. Our commitment to valuing diversity and promoting equality means we actively encourage individuals who might not otherwise volunteer.
Citizens Advice volunteering provides individuals with opportunities to develop their personal skills and abilities.
For some – volunteering with Citizens Advice Warrington can be a route into employment, or an opportunity to try something different. Nearly one third of volunteers who leave us go on to paid employment.
Meet Dorothea
When I applied to volunteer at the Citizens Advice Bureau I was looking for some office-based work experience and an opportunity to help people in the community.
Volunteering gave me so much more than that! CAB is a community full of client centered, kind hearted and empowering people whose sole mission is to support members of the community whether that be a client or a fellow volunteer. This steadily consistent support has had a hugely positive effect on my own self-belief and allowed me the space to develop transferable vocational skills to use moving forward. If you're thinking of volunteering, please approach us for a chat.
It is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made.
