We provide advice and support to local organisations and community groups who involve volunteers in their work
Increasingly, businesses are looking for ways to develop their corporate social responsibility and the volunteer centre is able to work with companies who wish to develop a volunteering programme – encouraging individual employees to contribute locally, or through team projects in the local community.
The Volunteer Centre is open Mon, Tues and Thursday, 9.30 am - 4.30 pm, and Wednesday and Friday 9.30am - 12.30pm . An answerphone service is available at all times.

Are you a business wanting to contribute to your community?
Hundreds of people in our community give just a little time to make an enormous difference. Thank you to everyone in the Harrogate area (and everywhere else for that matter) who do things for other people, for our community and for the environment!
It has been said that "The highest reward for a persons work is not what they get for it, but what they become because of it." If you would like to read about how some people in our community have gained surprising rewards from volunteering then click here
