Carlisle College Volunteering Fair

If your organisation is looking to recruit student volunteers in Carlisle you are invited to book onto the Carlisle Volunteering Fair organised by Cumbria CVS in partnership with Carlisle College. Set up will begin from 10.30am and each organisation will be offered a table and chairs to promote their organisation and volunteering opportunities. 

By attending the event students will find out more about which organisations are looking to recruit new volunteers, the wide range of local volunteering opportunities available, when and where volunteers are needed and how to become a volunteer. 

We kindly ask that each organisation that attends brings displays, posters, leaflets, information about their organisation, and application forms to hand out to potential volunteers. We ask organisations to attend for the full event and to talk to any individuals about:

*What your organisation does

*Volunteering opportunities available

*Time commitment and when and where volunteers are needed

*How volunteers can register to become a volunteer

Please book by 25 August 2026. Priority bookings will go to Cumbria CVS members and organisations on the Volunteering in Cumbria Portal.

Please book early so this will allow time for publicity and posters to be produced for the event.  

We ask all organisations to register on the Volunteering in Cumbria portal as we will be encouraging volunteers who attend the event to register on the portal to volunteer and to apply to organisations (https://volunteering.cumbriacvs.org.uk)
