Connect with Your Community: Volunteer Fair

Volunteering offers more than just a chance to help others—it’s an opportunity to grow. On Saturday 13 September, 11am–4pm, the Connect with Your Community Volunteer Fair at the Beacon Centre, North Shields, will connect you with local charities and community groups.

From gaining new skills and confidence to building friendships and networks, volunteering has real benefits for anyone who wants to contribute to their community. Flexible roles mean there’s something for every lifestyle.

The fair is part of the North Tyneside Together Festival, which celebrates the area’s diverse cultures through performances, stalls and family-friendly activities.

Drop in, explore your options, and see how volunteering could enrich your life while helping your community.
