Queen’s Park Community Council was born from residents’ efforts to create positive change in the area. It is through their continued enthusiasm for change, whether as Councillors or as Volunteers that the Community Council makes a difference.

We understand volunteering as a ‘give and give’ relationship and are committed to ensuring that volunteers feel appreciated for their valued work and can develop their personal, social and professional needs. So, whether you wish to support improvements across the Community, learn new skills, gain experience, or meet new people, our volunteering programme offers flexibility and support to ensure you can get the most out of the experience.

We want to ensure our volunteers feel valued and recognised for your work and acknowledge volunteers’ contributions and achievements regularly through thanks, small gifts and invitations to events. Volunteers are also recognised at our annual Local Hero event, where we present certificates to all volunteers and award Local Hero recognitions to those who carry out forty or more hours of volunteering each year.
