Cumbria CVS, the charity that backs the county's voluntary and community groups, is putting on a Maryport Volunteering Fair at The Carlton, 24-26 Senhouse Street. It's on Thursday 19 November from 11am till half twelve.
A load of local groups will be there showing what volunteers they need, when and where. You can ask them anything and sign up there and then if something takes your fancy. Everyone's welcome.
There are plenty of reasons folk do it. You might want a new challenge, to pick up some skills, meet new people, get your confidence up, feel part of the town, look after your own head, help others, do your bit for the environment, or get a foot in the door for a new career.
The Carlton on Senhouse Street opened this autumn as a venue and offices, and we've covered a few things going on there already.
Cumbria CVS is also pushing Trustees Week from 9 to 13 November, if you fancy sitting on the board of a local charity. Its volunteering website has loads more on, like the North Lakes Foodbank Christmas collections at Tesco in Whitehaven and Workington from 26 to 28 November.
