Event of the Year in Hull's Volunteering Calendar.

With just one week to go to the start of National Volunteers Week, just over 70 groups and organisations are participating in Volunteering Hull 2005 at Queens Gardens between 12noon and 6.00pm on Wednesday 1st June 2005. Showcasing their work to the public with the aim of inspiring others to take on the challenge of volunteering, the event will be a great way of viewing the diversity of volunteering opportunities that exist across our city.

Backed up by entertainment including a group of bands from The Warren as well as a Penalty Shoot Out organised by Dads Against Drugs, street performers and face painters this will be a fun yet informative way to find out how you too can make a difference in our city, and it's FREE.. Volunteer Centre manager Tom Grealy commented 'volunteering is a great way to make new friends, learn new skills and get to know your community and with over 300 volunteering opportunities in Hull, there has never been a better time to get involved in volunteering'.
