Following the fantastic success of November’s volunteer fair in St Annes, residents across Fylde have another wonderful opportunity to discover how they can make a real difference in their community at Kirkham Community Centre on Thursday 29 January from 10am to 1pm.
The free event brings together inspiring local organisations seeking enthusiastic volunteers, with confirmed attendance from North West Blood Bikes, Home-Start and Fylde Council’s Befriending Service already generating excitement. Whether you’re retired and looking for purpose, seeking new skills and experiences, or simply want to give something back to your community, there’s a volunteering opportunity waiting for you.
Visitors can enjoy complimentary tea, coffee and cake while chatting with organisation representatives in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect setting to explore different roles, ask questions, and find the volunteering opportunity that matches your interests and availability.
This volunteer fair is part of Fylde Council’s commitment to strengthening communities, with events planned at different venues across the borough throughout 2026. For those unable to attend this event, the next fair will provide another chance to get involved and support the incredible voluntary sector that makes Fylde such a special place to live.
Councillor Chris Dixon, Lead Member for Social Wellbeing, said: “November’s volunteer fair in St Annes was a tremendous success, connecting dozens of residents with meaningful volunteering opportunities.
“We’re thrilled to bring this event to Kirkham, making it even easier for people to discover how rewarding volunteering can be. Every volunteer makes our community stronger, and we’re proud to celebrate and support their dedication.”
Any organisations interested in hosting a stall should email victoria.clegg@fylde.gov.uk to express their interest.
