Volunteering opportunities in Sheffield

Thousands of people volunteer in Sheffield for a huge range of charities, community groups and organisations. Volunteering can be great fun and you can make a real difference not only to others, but also to yourself.

Be the Change You Want to See in Sheffield

Volunteering lies at the heart of Sheffield’s vibrant community. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or just starting out, there are endless opportunities across the city for you to make a difference. By supporting local charities or engaging in community projects, you’ll not only help others, but also enrich your own life.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering isn’t just about giving back—it’s an opportunity for personal growth and connection. It’s a chance to meet like-minded people, develop new skills, and even boost your career prospects. Imagine cooking with FoodCycle, transforming surplus food into nutritious meals for those in need, or lending a hand at St Vincent’s Community Shop, where your presence can make someone’s day by sorting donations and assisting customers.
