Lancashire Volunteer Partnership
The Lancashire Volunteer Partnership (LVP) is a gateway into public service volunteering.
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community, enhance your CV and meet new people. Our volunteers tell us their experience is incredibly rewarding.
There are many different reasons that people choose to volunteer and a whole host of benefits that volunteering brings to the individuals helped, the community, and to the volunteers themselves.
It may be that you would like to gain experience in a specific area, or learn and progress in your career. Perhaps you would like the chance to meet new people. Whatever the reason; volunteering is a great way of trying something new and giving something back by making a difference to someone’s life.
