Come and be part of something good
90 people volunteer at Bell View — and they work right across North Northumberland. Some drive members in Seahouses, Wooler, Beadnell, Cornhill and beyond; some run clubs and activities at the centre; some keep the garden growing; some help with reception or admin. Some volunteers help every week, some volunteers help with Events every now and then.
Whatever your skills or availability, and wherever you are in the area, there's likely to be a role that fits. You'll be warmly welcomed, properly supported, and among good company.
"Volunteering is not only helping others but also helps me — keeping me active and busy."
"Great way to meet your neighbours and meet new people. Happy, fun group of people and always made to feel welcome and valued."
"I think the centre is a very valuable resource for the community and I am glad I can help."
Good company, real difference
Whether you're helping in the kitchen for a Burns Night supper, driving someone to a hospital appointment, or simply being a familiar, friendly face — volunteering at Bell View is practical, sociable, and genuinely valued.
Most volunteers tell us they get as much out of it as they put in.
