Volunteer Centre Royston and District

The Volunteer Centre encourages, supports, develops and promotes voluntary activity amongst all sections of the community of Royston and the surrounds.

It covers all aspects of volunteering and offers:

• Information and guidance on the range local volunteering opportunities;
• Support for individuals who want to volunteer, helping them to identify volunteering opportunities that match their skills and interests;
• Help to local organisations in developing volunteering opportunities;
• Training and support for individuals and organisations.

The Volunteer Centre also runs a Community Time Bank within Royston.

Royston Time Bank is a way for people to share skills with others in their community and be rewarded for it – in time. For every hour of time you give providing help for another member, you receive one time credit.

Anyone can join and it is free! Everyone has interests, skills and abilities that they can share with others. Age, lack of finance or limited mobility is no bar to getting involved. All members are valued equally.

You can ‘spend’ your time credits when you need help from someone else or you can donate them to another Time Bank member who needs some extra help.

Volunteer Centre opening hours:
Tuesday and Thursday 10.00am-1.00pm;
other times by arrangement.
