Knowing you have helped someone is an amazing feeling, but there is so much more to gain. New friends, new skills and experience, and confidence, to name but a few!

Volunteers are an integral part of Connection Support so you can be sure your time will be valued. 

Not everyone has someone to turn to in a crisis, a friend they can chat to or someone to lend a practical hand or teach them how to navigate online. Connection Support volunteers help fill those gaps and, in doing so, often make a lasting difference to another person’s life.

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities across our projects in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, all are flexible.

There’s no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to volunteering with us

Whether you want to gain experience to move into a career in the social support sector, fill up your spare time, or simply make a difference; we would love to hear from you.

Volunteering with Connection Support offers many exciting opportunities. There is no typical volunteer, we believe that everyone has something valuable to offer. Whether your skills are practical, admin, language-based or people-centred, we can find a role to suit you!

We aim to be flexible around the hours and days of volunteering. Every hour is precious and every hour is appreciated.

Volunteers are valued members of the team and as such receive support and training and are paid out of pocket expenses, including a generous mileage allowance. We are actively recruiting for volunteers in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Your local Volunteer Co-ordinator in Bucks or Oxfordshire will help you every step of the way and make sure you’re happy and comfortable in your volunteer role.

Spare a little time

You may be seeking a placement as part of your social care degree, retired with valuable knowledge to pass on, willing to give basic cooking lessons, a Mum who would like to help during school time, provide practical help to someone less able or moral support to someone in need. Please visit our Volunteering Opportunities page for current roles but we’re always keen to hear from you.
