Volunteer
Volunteering at PBHA is a great way to meet people and develop or learn new skills, for tenants and participants, as well as members of the public. We’re always looking for enthusiastic, positive and supportive people who’d like to join us in our mission to tackle social exclusion.
Volunteers can play a key role in helping tenants to build links with the local community, by providing them with opportunities to build their confidence and social skills in a supportive environment.
Volunteers' Week
Here are some stories from past years' Volunteers’ Week to celebrate some of our brilliant volunteers.
