Volunteer

Volunteers play a key role at Grove Cottage and help in all areas including at clubs, driving our minibus, at fundraising events and in the office. We simply could not run without volunteers and can find a role suitable for nearly everyone.

If you volunteer at Grove Cottage you will make a real difference to people with learning disability in your local community and you’ll get something out of the experience yourself.
