Carlisle Volunteering Fair

Cumbria CVS, Shaddongate Resource Centre, Shaddongate, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA2 5TY

Your organisation is invited to book onto the Carlisle Volunteering Fair on Wednesday 5 June 2024 from 12.30pm-2.30pm, organised by Cumbria CVS as part of Volunteers’ Week 2024. Set up will begin from 12noon and each organisation will be offered a table to promote their organisation and volunteering .

This event aims to attract the general public to come along and to meet local groups, charities or organisations to find out about local volunteering opportunities and how  individuals interested in volunteering can register and become a volunteer.

By attending the event the general public will find out more about which organisations are looking to recruit new volunteers, the wide range of local volunteering opportunities available, when and where volunteers are needed and how to become a volunteer.

We kindly ask that each organisation that attends brings displays, posters, leaflets, information about their organisation, and application forms to hand out to potential volunteers. We ask organisations to attend for the full event and to talk to any individuals about:

*What your organisation does

*Volunteering opportunities available

*Time commitment and when and where volunteers are needed

*How volunteers can register to become a volunteer

Places will be confirmed after the closing date of 17 April 2024. Please book early so this will allow time for publicity and posters to be produced for the event.  Priority bookings will go to Cumbria CVS members and organisations on the Volunteering in Cumbria Portal.

We ask all organisations to register on the new Volunteering in Cumbria portal as we will be encouraging volunteers who attend the event to register on the portal to volunteer and to apply to organisations (https://volunteering.cumbriacvs.org.uk)
