Nottingham Women's Centre
Placement
Further information
Nottingham Women’s Centre provides support to women across Nottinghamshire.
Volunteers are an integral part of the work of the Centre and without their generosity, time and broad range of skills we would not be the organisation we are today. We estimate that volunteers save us around £60,000 in wages every year and that means we can support women to do even more amazing things!

We have up to 80 volunteers at any one time whose roles include: counsellors, peer support workers, tutors and teachers, administrators, researchers, marketing officers, graphic designers, student placements and event support to name but a few.
