The Didcot Rotary Club is organising a ‘VOLUNTEERS’ FAIR’ for the benefit of Charities and other Voluntary Organisations in the Didcot Area.  

The event is taking place at:

 Didcot Civic Hall, on Saturday 10th March 2012, from 10am to 3pm.

 Many organisations need help to give that vital support to the local community.  

Have you got the time, the ability or the skills to `make a difference` to someone's life?  There are many ways of ‘Helping others’ and just a little of your time can be just what is needed.  It can help you form new friendships, have fun,  learn new skills or just ‘be there for someone else’.  

You may be unemployed and looking for something to add to your CV; alternatively you may be retired and looking for something to do for the rest of your life. Maybe you are a parent with time on your hands when the children are at school; or, possibly, you are self-employed or working from home and wish to get out more. On the other hand, you may simply have a few hours to spare now and again.

There will be many groups at the Fair offering a wide range of volunteering opportunities. Why not come along and find out about them, you have nothing to lose?

Didcot Town Mayor, Phil Haywood, said, “I think this a fabulous idea to focus on what the various organisations are doing and their needs”.  

 Local MP,  Ed Vaizey, commented, “I have always been hugely impressed by the amount of volunteering that goes on in the constituency.  It really makes a great difference to people’s lives, whether it’s giving people lifts, helping at advice centres, or running clubs and societies.  We couldn’t function as a society without volunteers, so I hope people will see this Fair as a great opportunity to use their skills or time to help the community”. 

 For further information and how to book a place for your organisation please contact:

Colin Campbell on 01235 212082 or email: rotary@campbellandco.co.uk.

There is no charge for groups wishing to participate in the event.

Volunteers can just turn up on the day.
