Volunteering with Thriving Kirklees

Through our Thriving Kirklees partnership, we can offer you a range of volunteering opportunities that help support children, young people and their families right across Kirklees.

We have around 150 volunteers, who in a usual year give more than 6000 hours of support to our local communities.

Volunteers bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm and experience, so why not volunteer with one of our Thriving Kirklees partner organisations, because we recognise that everyone has a skill they can share. We recruit volunteers from all sectors of the community and look to match you with the most appropriate opportunities to suit your needs and expectations.
