A new volunteering service has been set up to help reduce loneliness and isolation in the Malvern Hills District.
Malvern Hills Volunteering (MHV) is the latest project from Community Action Malvern and District, and is supported by Malvern Hills District Council.
The project involves promoting volunteering opportunities within the district, and helping organisations spread the word about their available roles via social media, newsletters, and events including a volunteer fair.
MHV will match potential volunteers to roles that suit them best and help residents get involved in their local communities.
Community Action has over 150 active volunteers, with 42 organisations on the database, and 55 different volunteering roles currently available.
Liz Robinson, Volunteer Manager at Community Action said: "Our vision is to become a central hub for all things volunteering. We aim to increase volunteering within the district, and help people connect with others within the community, which can make a real positive impact on loneliness."
Amanda Smith, Head of Community and Parking Services at Malvern Hills District Council said: "We are really pleased to support this new service, volunteering is a great way for residents to reconnect with and help their local community and make a positive difference to people's lives, as well as develop their own skills and foster strong relationships."
