We know life is busy, and not everyone can commit to long-term volunteering. That’s why we’re looking for people who can lend a helping hand every once in a while.

Whether it’s lending a hand at an event, helping out on a Sunday morning, providing your specialist skills for a one-off job, or giving just a couple of hours when you’re free – every small contribution can make a big difference.
There’s no ongoing commitment – you simply sign up for the tasks that suit your time, skills, and interest. Help if you can, when you can – no pressure.
If you’d like to be in our group of helpers, just message "helping hand" to Mark on WhatsApp 07525 434790 and we’ll reach out whenever something comes up.

To get an idea of the typical example tasks check out our volunteers page https://eccles.rfu.club/volunteers
