Skills-Based Volunteering
Why it Matters
People we support are often rebuilding their confidence, identity, and skills after periods of extreme hardship. Offering your time to share knowledge — whether it’s a one-off workshop or a regular session — can be empowering, uplifting, and life-changing.
You don’t need to be perfect — just passionate, kind, and reliable.
Skills-Based Volunteering
How It Works
We’ll work with you to match your skills with the right opportunity, based on your time, interests, and availability. This could be a single session, a short-term project, or an ongoing commitment — it’s completely flexible.
All volunteers will receive an induction, safeguarding guidance, and any support you need to make your contribution safe and impactful.

Let’s explore what’s possible together.
I joined Maggs because I moved into the Worcester area and wanted to continue volunteering to support homeless people. I always look forward to my volunteering days - all the staff and volunteers are really committed to helping our clients, and I get a feeling of having done something useful as part of a great team.
