News and Events

Volunteer Centre Biggleswade

A dedicated
Volunteer Centre in Biggleswade (from the Volunteer Centre Bedford) opened
on Friday 20th May 2011.

Open every
Friday from 10am – 1.30pm at
the Mid Bedfordshire Citizens Advice Bureau Office at Century House, Market Square, Biggleswade

We want to increase the number of volunteers from the Biggleswade area and to do this we need good quality volunteering opportunities from local charities and community groups. Having a base in Biggleswade will be sure to attract more local people who prefer not to travel to Bedford to enquire about volunteering. If you need more volunteers and need help recruiting, then call us on 01234 213100.
