King’s representative backs local volunteering

Ever thought about volunteering in your spare time, but not sure where to start? Join 3SG at this year’s Volunteer Fair, which will be held at the Apex Hotel, Bath on Friday, 17th October, from 11 am - 3 pm.

The event, now in its third year, celebrates over 40 local charities and the amazing work that is carried out to support people across the area, doing so alongside people like you. Volunteering is a fantastic way to learn new skills, connect with others and to make a difference in your community, giving as much or as little of your time that you can spare. 

The main exhibition space will see displays by some of the 250+ charity members that 3SG supports, with each stall providing a warm welcome, fun activities and probably some freebies! We’ll also be welcoming a very special guest to officially open the Fair at 11 am, HM the King’s representative, the Lord Lieutenant of Somerset.

As well as the exhibition space, visitors can take part in workshops and talks throughout the day, and new to the Fair this year, free taster sessions for the soon to be launched Wellbeing Courses in B&NES, which will be available to book on arrival.

As part of 3SG’s work to support the local Third Sector, the organisation is inviting local businesses to join the event for a special ‘After Party’, which will be taking place from 3.30pm, an informal networking session with local charities where we will raise a glass to those working tirelessly for the community.

Entry to the Volunteer Fair is free, but you must register for the After Party event, which is open to local businesses and our charity stallholders only. For more information and tickets, visit https://bit.ly/3SGAFTERPARTY
