Be Part of Something Bigger – Discover New Opportunities at the Richmond Volunteer Fair

Richmond borough's biggest celebration and showcase of local community action is back – to inspire and ignite your volunteering ambitions.

The Volunteer Fair will, once again, take place at Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College (RHACC) on Wednesday 20 May, from 2pm to 6pm. This hugely popular annual event always promises a vibrant atmosphere, a wide mix of great local causes, and exciting opportunities for individuals to get involved in and make a difference.

Come along to:

·        meet dozens of inspiring charities doing incredible work locally

·        find volunteering roles that suit your skills, passions, and availability

·        get personalised advice, fresh ideas and a warm community welcome.

Whether you're curious about volunteering for the first time or looking for a new challenge, you'll get to meet 50+ local charities and community groups under one roof. Have an informal chat with staff and current volunteers, discover a huge range of roles, and explore causes that matter to them — from health and wellbeing to nature conservation, arts and heritage, youth support, community initiatives, and specialist services.

In a borough with 750+ registered charities, amongst the stallholders on the day, you might find organisations you weren't aware of and roles you hadn't considered. Volunteering in your community could be more flexible and rewarding than you think.

This free community event is organised by Richmond CVS, home of the Richmond Volunteer Service, which supports volunteer recruitment and promotes opportunities across the borough of Richmond upon Thames.

No pressure, no experience needed, just possibilities. Visit the Richmond Volunteer Fair and join a movement of people who want to give back — one hour, one skill, or one conversation at a time.

There's no charge for your ticket but advance registration is requested.
