Volunteering

Volunteers are a valuable and vital part of what we do at Spectrum D. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the community, develop lots of new skills and to meet new people. Our volunteers provide support for our staff, but they also assist with running activities and programmes and in doing so develop a range of skills. Interested in finding out more?
