Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the LBBD Volunteering Team. As a volunteer, you’ll have the chance to assist our council services and contribute to local organisations and groups that play a positive and beneficial role within our community.

Volunteering is crucial as it builds solidarity, fortifies social connections, and yields beneficial outcomes for both people and their local areas. Volunteers play a vital role by dedicating their time, expertise, and resources to tackle important challenges, ranging from supporting those in need to planning local activities.

This selfless engagement not only enhances the well-being of those in need but also empowers volunteers by offering a chance to develop new abilities, broaden perspectives, and cultivate a deeper understanding of diverse backgrounds. Ultimately, volunteering strengthens the fabric of society, promoting compassion, cooperation, and a shared commitment to building a better and more inclusive community for everyone.
