Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community.
Volunteering is at the heart of communities in Waltham Forest and reflects the commitment of residents to help one another. There are lots of opportunities for residents to get involved in volunteering locally.
There are a variety of volunteering opportunities in Waltham Forest to suit all interests. These include looking after vulnerable residents, improving the local environment, and supporting the borough’s cultural events and activities.
You can register your interest and search for opportunities on our Legends of the Forest volunteering website.
Volunteering makes a huge difference to our communities and can support you to:
Watch volunteers from Waltham Forest tell us about the difference volunteering has made for them.
Waltham Forest Council is committed to making sure volunteering continues to thrive in the borough.
We have worked with volunteers and communities to develop a new Volunteering Strategy which sets out our vision for the future of volunteering to make Waltham Forest the best place in London to volunteer.
Volunteers are currently supporting community groups with one off events, service delivery and much more. Community groups can register on our volunteering partner website to access training and support to create and promote volunteering opportunities.
