Good Space
Good Space is a unique platform supporting creative, inclusive and meaningful volunteering opportunities in arts, heritage, and sports organisations. You might want to do some flexible and remote volunteering, or you may prefer to get out and meet people in a more public-facing role. Volunteering is about building connections, finding your purpose and wellbeing, and gaining valuable skills and experience. When you volunteer through Good Space, you’ll be awarded digital badges that reveal the skills, abilities and learning involved – so it’s a great way to show potential employers what you can do. Good Space help everyone connect with volunteering roles that match their interests and abilities, and provide lasting benefits – not only for their communities but also for themselves.

Importantly you will have the opportunity to develop a supportive network of new friends that last beyond the session.
