Here is our volunteering pick for February 2022. At this continuing difficult time, one thing is certain – many of our local organisations are having a huge impact on our local community and need your help. Here is a small selection from the opportunities we hold at CVS Bedfordshire from organisations across the area.
We invite you to subscribe to our monthly newsletter at www.cvsbeds.org.uk/volunteernewsletter for monthly news of the latest opportunities and other volunteering related news.

We offer short-term person-centred counselling for carers – face to face, by phone or video. We are looking for counsellors who will gently encourage carers to talk about what’s going on for them and help identify how to change or manage things in a different way going forward. You will not give direct advice or opinions.
