Get into volunteering in 2025!

With the New Year here, why not make a resolution to volunteer a few hours a week or month in Norfolk? Whether it’s helping at a food bank in Diss, supporting older people in Swaffham, or protecting wildlife along the Broads or the Norfolk Coast, volunteering is a fantastic way to give back. You’ll meet new people, learn new skills, and have amazing experiences—all while making a real difference in places like Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn, Cromer or Thetford. Start 2025 by doing something worthwhile and discover how rewarding volunteering can be!

Interested in volunteering but not sure where to start?

Sign up for the Norfolk Volunteer Passport training course.

Voluntary Norfolk and Adult Learning have partnered to deliver The Norfolk Volunteer Passport programme. This training programme helps volunteers gain foundational knowledge to support their volunteering journey.


Delivered online, this course will support you in a welcoming environment into volunteering. We'll also support you to use the Get InVOLved Norfolk platform to log your training, volunteering hours and upload certificates to support your applications to volunteering roles.
