Volunteering is a great way of increasing your skills, making new friends and helping make a difference.

Here are a few of the opportunities to volunteer with us.

	Trustees We are looking for people from a variety of backgrounds to join our Board of Trustees, help oversee the governance of the charity, and contribute to setting our priorities and activities. No previous board experience is required. Commitment is currently 2 hours a month for Board meetings (normally online), and then any additional Task & Finish or sub-projects that you may wish to get involved with.
	HMP Mount Playgroup Can you volunteer to help at our Playarea? Situated in the visiting room of HMP The Mount Bovingdon. It is vital that young children maintain a connection with family members serving a sentence and our playarea is there to make visiting a positive experience. If you can offer a few hours a week you will make all the difference to this service and the children and families we support. Background checks will be done and you will be trained and supported by our staff.
	Rural Digital Inclusion Know your way around an Apple or Android device. Comfortable setting up apps or filling in online application forms, could you show someone else in a way they may remember? Help give Digital confidence that can change someone’s world. Commitment is 2 hours a week when the session is taking place near you.
	St Albans Community Garden. Got a green finger (or just want to have a go?), spend time outside in a wonderful green space, that helps reset the mind and body. Commitment is as much or as little as you want.
