The Volunteer Centre also hosts the Supported Volunteering Project which provides a helping hand to anyone who wants to volunteer, but may feel that they need a bit of extra support. If, for example, you are recovering from a period of mental ill health or have a learning disability, you might find taking the first step into volunteering a bit daunting. The Supported volunteering project aims to make this as easy as possible. For more information on this project contact the project coordinator on 01621 851891 or email svproject@maldoncvs.co.uk.
