Volunteering

 

In Thornhill there are hundreds of people who give up their time every week or month to make a difference in the community.  At Thornhill Plus You we rely on Thornhill residents to take part in the regeneration of Thornhill as members of our Board, working groups and project steering groups, completing regular Thornhill Voice questionnaires, volunteering with events and projects and taking part in consultation so that we know we are making the changes that local people want.  All of these people make an invaluable contribution to our aim of making Thornhill a fun and enjoyable place where everyone is proud to say they live.

On this page you can find information on what volunteering is and why so many people choose to do it, what opportunities there are for volunteering at Thornhill Plus You, what opportunities there are for volunteering with community groups in Thornhill, and where you can find out more information.

Please get in touch with us if:

  • You would like to have a web page on this site about what your group does we would love to hear from you and help you to put one together.
