Volunteers make an enormous contribution to our work at Change Grow Live. Last year over 1400 volunteers donated over a quarter of million hours of their time to our organisation. Would you like to join our growing team of volunteers, and make a real difference? Based in Accrington, Lancashire, you will support Reception Staff with the day-to-day running of our reception area. You will be trained to answer telephone queries, complete referral and consent forms and add contacts to our case management system. Volunteering at Change Grow Live Volunteers contribute to Change Grow Live in a variety of ways.
