Volunteering

Orpheus would cease to exist without the large team of volunteers who undertake regular support roles at the centre. The commitment, enthusiasm and dedication of each of our volunteers has a fantastic impact, and has contributed to transforming the lives of hundreds of young disabled adults over the past twenty years. In 2016 our volunteers were awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service - the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at Orpheus please register your interest here and Vanessa Brett-Davey our Volunteer Co-ordinator, will get back to you by email or phone for an informal chat or alternatively call 01883 744664 or email [email protected].
