Volunteer with us
What can you do as a volunteer?
Volunteers are a vital part of the work we do in the dioceses around the UK – helping to run our busy offices, visiting schools and youth groups to talk about our work, or organising sponsored events and campaign actions.
How can we help you?
Whatever you choose to do, you will have the full support of CAFOD staff and other volunteers. All our volunteers are offered training, covering a range of topics including speaking on behalf of CAFOD.
We also provide you with presentation aids and materials for your parish or school.
Where to start?
If you can offer some of your time to promote our work in your parish, school or dioceses, then please contact your local CAFOD diocesan office to find out what is available.
Melanie Cunningham is a CAFOD schools volunteer, and relishes her important role: "Having just walked away from a long career at Marks and Spencer I was wondering what I was going to do next… so the appeal in the parish newsletter for a schools volunteer working for CAFOD caught my eye.
"It’s an important role. If I can encourage just one child to support CAFOD in the future then, as far as I’m concerned, that's job done."
