Volunteering


At CVS NWK we strive to create connections, within the local community, to build supportive networks. To reach our goal, we want to work with you to make this happen.


At CVS we want to connect with other local organisations to find what they are looking for, helping invaluable structures in our community get all the support they need. To do this, we ask that you fill out the ORGANISATION REQUEST FORM below to give us a few details about your group and what roles you are looking to fill.


We then wish to build connections with local people, helping them to utilise their skills to do what they enjoy. Volunteering positions run in many locations and encompass many different roles such as administration, community work and gardening. With these options there are many choices to help find the right match. If you are interested in joining a position, please have a look through the vacancies below and contact them through the details provided.


We understand how valuable volunteering is in our community in creating strong networks and can see what individuals benefit from by being a volunteer. The ability to socialise with others and learn new skills helps you make connections and support you in the future.


Please consider helping us in our journey to build a great network in North West Kent.
