NLive Radio, the local radio station for Northampton, is excited to announce this year’s Northampton Volunteer Fair, the second event of its kind, will be taking place on Tuesday 2nd June at Weston Favell Shopping Centre, from 10am to 3pm.

Organised as part of National Volunteers’ Week, the event aims to promote volunteering and support local charities and community groups in recruiting new volunteers.

Rebecca Steers, Station Manager at NLive Radio, said; “As Northampton’s local radio station, we’re proud to support and celebrate the spirit of volunteering in our town, and work with charities and community groups to provide a platform recruit volunteers”

This vibrant, in-person event at Weston Favell shopping centre invites residents from across the whole of Northampton and the surrounding area to discover how they can give back, get involved, and make a real difference in their community.

Kevin Legg, Centre Manager said; “We’re proud to support this event at Weston Favell Shopping Centre and help create a great experience for our visitors and community.”

Several charities and community organisations will be present, ready to share the inspiring work they do and how you can become a part of it. Whether you’re looking to develop new skills, meet like-minded people, or support a cause close to your heart, the Northampton Volunteer Fair offers the perfect opportunity to get started.

The event is being held in partnership with Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire, their Chief Executive Officer Russell Rolph, said; “Volunteering remains vital to individuals and communities. While there are many different reasons why people volunteer, the result is that local organisations benefit from that knowledge and passion, and in many cases, could not deliver the raft of services without that volunteering input.

“Volunteering Fairs are a great way of bringing potential volunteers in contact with organisations that need it, and because of that this event has my full support.
