We value all of our volunteers. Every individual really contributes in helping to create more opportunities for the people we support and that is vitally important.
Volunteers are a big part of the charity – helping in our community hubs, Tearoom in Blewbury, charity shop in Wallingford, gardening project and fundraising and events. As a volunteer at Style Acre you can develop your skills, gain experience in the charity sector and/or social care sector, build contacts and friendships in your local area, do something good and make a difference to local people with learning disabilities and autism and – of course – have fun! There is no set amount of time that you have to offer and we will do everything we can to work around your availability.
