How to volunteer

At the Volunteer Centre at One Westminster, we can help you take next step along your volunteering journey in the borough of Westminster. If you live, work or study in Westminster we can help you find your ideal volunteering role with Westminster Voluntary Organisations and Community Groups. This can include office/administration, charity shops, sports, IT, mentoring, befriending, gardening, libraries, hospitals, helping at major events in Westminster and much more! 

If you need support relating to any aspect of volunteering, please email us and we will then contact you detailing how we can help.
