Our fantastic team offers invaluable assistance, enabling many vulnerable people across Kent to stay independent and our charity’s reach to expand.

Why volunteer?

We appreciate the huge contribution that all our volunteers make to the successful running of our charity and understand the importance of saying ‘Thank You!’

The Royal Voluntary Service reports that volunteering can benefit you just as much as it does the person you are giving your time to help. It can lead to more confidence and a greater sense of fulfillment, feeling more integrated in your local community; you can gain valuable social and team working skills, and it can improve your physical and mental health greatly.

All of our volunteers receive regular support starting with a formal induction followed by ongoing training and supervision and an annual appraisal. They can also claim reasonable travel expenses, so that they are not out of pocket through volunteering at Compaid.

I thought that volunteering would be all about helping others, but in my case it’s just as much about helping me. It keeps my brain active; I can learn new skills and if I can help others, it makes me feel good as well so everyone wins.
