This annual event promises to be bigger and better than ever, providing a fantastic opportunity for local organisations to connect with individuals who are passionate about giving back to the community.

The Volunteer Fair is a unique platform where charities, non-profits, and community groups from across the region can meet with potential volunteers eager to make a difference.

It’s a chance to showcase the incredible work being done in Exeter and beyond and offer people the chance to find out how they can get involved and support meaningful causes.

  • A Wide Range of Industries and Causes: From environmental groups to health services, education, and social causes, the fair will feature a diverse selection of organizations looking to expand their volunteer base.
  • Engaging with the Community: Attendees will have the chance to meet representatives from local charities and community groups, ask questions, and learn more about various volunteer opportunities that suit their skills and interests.

"As a Hospital Radio Station we always looking for enthusiastic and outgoing people and we seem to attract this type of person to our stand from the public attending the event, it’s always so well organised and worth having a stall!" Malcom from Hospital Radio.
