Volunteer Matching Days

Every few months Hearing Concern LINK hosts a 'Matching Day' for potential volunteers. The object is to show the range of volunteering opportunities on offer and can meet HearingConcernLINK staff and existing volunteers. This is an opportunity to learn about the various roles on offer and discover more about the type of activity that interests each individual. At the end of the day the matching day team meet to allocate volunteering roles and all those successfully 'matched' will be invited to train for their new role - free of charge. Anyone can apply to become a HearingConcernLINK volunteer. We have roles for hard of hearing as well as deafened and hearing people - why not come along and find out what interests you ?
