Swindon's volunteer community is being marked for Volunteer Week.

The week, which runs until 9 June, celebrates Swindon's many dedicated volunteers and also highlights opportunities for people who have time and effort to offer their community. 

Swindon Borough Council has organised a drop-in volunteer recruitment session at the Brunel Shopping Centre on Wednesday 5 June.

All are welcome to come along at any time from 9.30am to 3pm to find out about: 

- What volunteer schemes are available - including befriending someone who is lonely or baking cakes for people who wouldn't otherwise celebrate their birthday 

- What to expect from the role 

- What support and training will be provided 

- What the requirements are to get involved 

A council spokesperson said: "Our friendly team and volunteers will be ready to answer any questions you have and tell you all about it first-hand."
