“The staff and volunteers are one of the best things about the Dellow Centre”
A client at Providence Row.
It takes a lot of people power to keep things moving on a day to day basis at Providence Row. We have twice as many volunteers as paid staff; we would not be able to run without the loyal support from our volunteers.
Volunteers work at Providence Row in many different roles from helping out in the kitchen to running clubs and helping at fundraising events.
As a volunteer at Providence Row you will work with an experienced team of staff and other volunteers and will gain new skills. You could also gain experience working with a diverse group of vulnerable people.
You will be able to see the true progress of the clients you help whilst you are here and the real difference you can make.
You won’t be out of pocket either as we will reimburse you for travel and provide expenses towards your lunch.
“It’s great to be here, helping people to get back on track”
