Get Involved

There are countless opportunities to get involved and support your local community, and it can start with volunteering! Volunteering is giving your time freely to benefit others or the environment, and it's a rewarding way to get involved.


From sports and physical activities to youth work, befriending, research, conservation, and so much more, charities, voluntary, and community groups across the city offer amazing opportunities for you to make a difference.


Volunteering is not only a chance to support local people and causes —it’s a fantastic way to meet new people, try something new, develop valuable skills, and be part of something.


The Volunteer Brum platform will help you to find the right opportunity for you. Click below to discover great ways to get involved in your neighbourhood!
