Why Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills and help your community. It’s a fantastic way to enhance your CV, gain new experiences and even improve your wellbeing.

As a volunteer with the Heritage Foundation, you’ll be fully supported along the way. We’ll give you all the training you need and you can tailor your volunteering around your schedule. 

We’re a friendly bunch at the Heritage Foundation. You can get to know other volunteers at our regular volunteer socials and events.

By volunteering, you’ll be helping people across Letchworth and making a positive difference in your community.
