Volunteering with us

Volunteer with us and help your local community.

Why volunteer with us?

Cambridgeshire ACRE is one of the leading charities in Cambridgeshire. We pride ourselves on having strong values and finding new and innovative ways of helping our communities. 

We know that to bring about lasting change we must harness local energy and residents’ willingness to do things to help themselves.

We also know that many local people are looking for ways to do more in their community but struggle to find a role that both appeals to and fits with their other commitments. We hope that volunteering with us might provide a solution.
