Volunteer

Action speak louder than words

We want people across the North East to live happier and healthier lives but we cannot achieve this alone.

Many of our programmes are enhanced, and in some cases rely on, the generosity of others in donating their time and experience in supporting us with programme delivery.

Almost 100 volunteers give up their time to help make our region a better place. From supporting young people to transform a care home's garden, to taking photographs to be used on our website, through to helping us collect vital funds at events, there's a role for everyone at the Foundation.

Foundation of Light holds the County Durham Kitemark for volunteering, demonstrating that we meet standards to overcome barriers to volunteering.

Whether you're a fan or a business who wants to help, we need your support.
