Ellie Lee and Rima Simkute, our Volunteering Development Officers support people in Cambridgeshire who want to explore volunteering but may need some guidance to get started or find the right opportunity.
This includes people who may be new to volunteering, returning after a break, or facing barriers such as confidence, health, caring responsibilities, or access needs.
Here Ellie and Rima talk about their roles at Support Cambridgeshire and the support provided to help get people into volunteering.
