Chorley Council are committed to supporting residents who want to give back to their community.
without realising we help one another each and every day. Some individuals are able to support family, friends, neighbours and people they come across.
taking your neighbours bin out, popping out to check on an elderly relative or giving a friend a phone call where they aren't feeling themselves are all ways of helping someone.
it can be very rewarding to support someone else.
Please see the links below as to the benefits of helping others and how you can support yourself during that process:

as a Council we work alongside the voluntary sector to deliver services across the borough. If you would like to help someone and become a volunteer, there are a number of openings available at: Volunteering - Chorley Council
if you cannot find what you are looking for, or you are a group/organisation that wish to sign up to our partnership agreement to display your services on our website contact the communities team on communities@chorley.gov.uk
