Do you want to do good & volunteer but don’t have a lot of time?
We’ve set up the Volunteer Pool for those who want to be able to help out and volunteer within the community when they can, but who don’t necessarily have the time to settle into a permanent, regular role.
If you add your contact details to our database, then we’ll send you occasional updates on smaller tasks that need doing, either in the local area, or from the comfort of your home.
This outreach programme will allow tasks across Bracknell Forest to get done faster and more efficiently, as we’ll be able to send out a group of random volunteers who are in our database and are available at the correct times. It’s also a great way to meet new people!
What kind of tasks and opportunities are included in the Pool?
Some examples of tasks that are sent to those who sign up include:
- Administration tasks that can be done from home
- Cleaning and/or replacing unsightly graffiti
- Helping to create local shared community spaces
- Weeding local footpaths in both rural and urban areas
- Gardening and conservation at local parks and green spaces
- Litter picking and cleaning local communities
- Stewarding at running or cycling events
- Completing surveys or conducting important research
- Creating and sharing social media graphics
- Designing and distributing promotional materials
- Attending and assisting at a local club activity or event

All of these activities are examples, but the overall aim of the Pool is to help our local council teams and community groups with making the area a nicer place to live in and visit.
There is no obligation for you to participate in these activities, you can just wait until one comes along that suits you! So why not dive in to the Volunteer Pool today?
