    One to One Advice Sessions

    Volunteer Centre Lewisham provides outreach services, giving you an opportunity to talk to an experienced advisor about what you want from volunteering.

    These sessions are informal and often held in public buildings such as libraries or leisure centres, making it easy for you to get to us.

    To attend one of these sessions you would need to call us on 020 8613 7113 and make an appointment.

    You will be able to discuss what it is you want from your volunteering, and what interests you whilst we compare your interests to the range of opportunities available.




    I work full time, can I do voluntary work?

    Volunteers are needed at different times of day, or at weekends. Some can even be done from home.

    If you would like to meet one of our advisors call us on 020 8613 7113 and find out when we are having our next Saturday appointment session.
