Do you want
to make a difference? We need you!
Make a real difference in the lives of people with Special Needs
Much of the work at The Wingate Centre relies on the dedication and kindness of our volunteers. Whether you're helping in the garden, assisting at a fundraising event, or supporting our activity sessions, every role plays a vital part in helping us brighten the lives of those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Become a Wingate Ambassador
Raise awareness and help inspire others to support our cause.
Wingate Ambassadors play a key role in representing us at community events, sharing our message, and encouraging donations, fundraising, and sponsorship. You’ll help us reach new people and thank those who already support us.

Join our community fundraising efforts and assist at local events

No matter your skills or interests, we have a place for you!
Volunteer Days
Many organisations offer their employees volunteer days each year. We have been lucky enough to have been supported by lots of local businesses and they have worked on fantastic projects, including gardening and painting! It is a great team-building activity and helps us with ongoing large projects. Please contact us to book your volunteer day!
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering offers a whole range of benefits, not just for the recipients of the volunteer work but also for the volunteers themselves. Through volunteering, individuals can develop new skills, expand their networks, and gain valuable experience, which can enhance their personal and professional growth. Moreover, volunteering has been shown to improve mental and physical well-being by reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and increasing overall happiness. Ultimately, volunteering is a powerful force for positive change, enriching both the lives of volunteers and the communities they serve.
