The hub allows you to register as a Dundee City Council volunteer and offer your support in times of emergency and for events run by Dundee City Council. Event volunteering roles are suited to people who enjoy working outdoors and are confident speaking to the public.

A supervisor will be on hand to coordinate your training, breaks, and refreshments, along with answering any questions you may have on the day.

You do not need to accept every time, your details will stay registered on the hub until you unsubscribe.
