Volunteers make a huge contribution to Middlesbrough Council and are a critical part of how the council serves the wider town, and its residents.
Across the council, over 600 volunteers help us with everything from preserving the town’s archives, to supporting people with some really challenging social issues through our Community Hubs.
As the council moves forward and changes shape, working with volunteers will be an increasingly important way of ensuring that we continue to engage closely with our communities, drive service improvements and bring in new ideas.
As well as the value to the council, it is also important for us to recognise the way that volunteering can make such a difference to individuals, through increased confidence, learning new skills and forming new relationships.
Over the coming years we will continue to work closely with our fantastic volunteers to provide the support that makes us stronger together.

How can I BE PART OF IT:
Here at MCL we will guide you through the volunteering process to ensure that you have access to the right volunteering opportunitiy that meets your needs. Please visit the council website for an up to date list of current opportunities or speak to a member of our team for further information.
