Volunteer With Us

Do you want to volunteer your time as a mentor, to help someone achieve a goal?

People may want a bit of support from you to start attending something new, build their confidence, find out information, fill in a form or even write a letter.

Do you want to help Inclusion Gloucestershire do some of their work?

We are often looking for people with important life skills who can support us in different project related roles.

We pride ourselves in supporting volunteers well and will help you to achieve your personal goals or signpost you elsewhere if we can’t.

Current volunteer oportunities

Thank you for your interest, our current volunteering opportunities will be listed below as and when they arise. 

If you do not see any roles listed, it may mean that we don’t have any opportunities to offer at the moment.  If you would still like to submit a prospective application to volunteer with us in the future, we are happy to keep this on file (with your permission) and contact you if a potentially suitable opportunity becomes available.

Please let us know if you would not like us to save your application for this purpose.

• Supporting people with completing forms: to access support to improve their quality of life.
