Volunteers
We currently have over 200 volunteers that support the work that the Community Action do throughout Cheshire. Without the support of volunteers we would be unable to provide some of the services that we consider of great value.
Below is a list of some of the activities that volunteers are currently involved in:
- Driving for the Community Car Scheme
- Judging for the Best Kept Village
- Project Rural Matters Volunteers , a community safety project based in Chester District
We are very grateful for the valuable work that our volunteers do in support of community activities. If you are interested in taking part in any of the above volunteering opportunities we would be interested in hearing from you.
