VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is the commitment of time and energy for the benefit of the community without financial gain. Most people have been involved in some kind of voluntary work within their communities i.e. helping out neighbours, church work, helping with youth activities, sitting on management committees, etc.
Volunteers come from all age groups from young to more mature and from all sections of the community and include friends, neighbours, unemployed, employed, retired people, teachers...
North Northumberland Voluntary Action is a previous project of Community Action Northumberland. It exists to support voluntary action by groups and individuals in the Alnwick and Berwick districts of Northumberland, primarily in the social and health fields. In carrying out the aims the Project the staff have promoted the concept of individual volunteering, have supported and assisted self help groups and carers and worked in partnership with other organisations such as the NHS and Social Services Department.
