Action Together’s Volunteer Fair returns to Oldham Town Centre, giving organisations across the borough a platform to present their fantastic volunteering opportunities to the people of Oldham!
If you are an organisation looking for volunteers, join us and book yourself a stall!
The Volunteer Fair is a fantastic opportunity for organisations to promote volunteering roles to the community, and highlight the incredible contribution volunteers make. Anyone is welcome on the day to browse the stalls and find out about volunteer opportunities and activities in their local area.
We will be located on stalls along the Market Place / Curzon Street (side of primark) in Oldham Town Centre on:
Tuesday 28 May 2024, 10am - 3pm - Book here to reserve your stall
Stalls are free to members of Action Together and must have a volunteering focus on volunteer recruitment in Oldham.
We are able to provide gazebos and tables (depending on availability), please remember to bring your own fold away chairs.
If you are bringing animals or providing an activity as part of your stall, for example if you are an animal charity or would like people to play football or plant pots then please attach your public liability on your registration.
If you have any queries, please email our Volunteer team at volunteering@actiontogether.org.uk or call 0161 339 2345
Feedback
Here is feedback from organisations and community members who joined our Volunteer Fair last year:
“I attended the Volunteer fair because as well as looking for a part time job, I am looking to volunteer. It was amazing! I learned a lot of new things about what you can do. I enjoyed meeting new people. I didn’t want to go home!”
"Thank you for all the hard work you all put into the Volunteer Fair. We met so many lovely people, swapped details with other companies, and dare we say it, despite the downpour, we had a thoroughly good time! Thank you again for welcoming us."
"It was a really nice event and there were definitely a lot of people speaking to us who had come along purely to attend the event which was positive. We had some really lovely conversations and Gary (the hopeful gardener) you introduced to us has already been in touch."
"I just want to thank you for the amazing volunteer fair. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and received a lot of information that I'm working through. I never realised there was so much going on in Oldham. I'm spoilt for choice."
