Ready to make a difference in your community? The Community Action Network (CAN) is hosting its annual Volunteer Fair on Tuesday, September 9th, at the Kinson Community Centre. This event is a fantastic opportunity for residents to meet with over 30 local charities and organisations all in one place, offering a wide range of volunteering opportunities.
Whether you're looking for a way to give back, gain new skills, or simply connect with others, this fair has something for everyone. It's not just for potential volunteers—it's also a valuable resource for anyone who supports someone who might benefit from volunteering, such as a family member, a friend, or a client. Volunteering has been shown to boost well-being, build confidence, and provide a sense of purpose and connection. This event is the perfect place to explore how these benefits can be achieved.
Attendees can expect to be inspired by real stories of community impact and find out how they can get involved. Representatives from diverse groups will be on hand to chat about their work and the different roles they have available, from helping at local food banks and supporting youth programs to assisting with environmental projects and befriending isolated seniors.
