The exhibitors
The volunteer sector is so diverse, full of amazing organisations doing life-changing work. We wanted to capture that variety in our exhibition, with over 60 exhibitors waiting to meet you. Chat with the local, national and international charities you know and love, and ones you’re yet to discover to find your next volunteering adventure.
The workshops
It wouldn’t be a volunteering show without giving you practical ways to get involved! Our workshops do exactly that. Run by our exhibiting charities, our free workshops give you chance to delve into the topics you care about, or explore something new.
We’re covering everything from homelessness to wildlife conservation. From disaster response to online volunteering. From wildlife conservation to sanitation.
