Volunteering is about giving your time to a good cause. You'll get the chance to use your talents and develop new skills. Volunteering can build your confidence and help you meet new people. You'll make a real difference to other people's lives, as well as your own.

I recently retired and wanted to fill my time doing something enjoyable and useful. Thornbury Volunteer Centre were very helpful. I now serve tea and chat to visitors while cruising along the Gloucestershire Sharpness canal. Perfect!
