Volunteers
We are proud to have an amazing team of volunteers who work within our services and are an important part of the work we do.
People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge as a pathway into employment. Regardless of the motivation, what unites them all is that they find it both benefitting and rewarding.
Volunteers bring a range of expertise that complements the skills of our staff and adds value to the people we support. Wirral Evolutions welcomes volunteers in all service areas and is committed to engaging with volunteers in a way that complements and expands the service.
In 2020 we were awarded a Wirral Volunteering Standard by Community Action Wirral. This is a quality standard that recognises good practice in volunteer management.
Our Aims for Volunteers at Wirral Evolutions
As part of our Strategic Framework we will embed a culture of volunteering, reward and recognition within the company.
In the future 100% of our volunteers will have:
- a wide range of diverse skills and experiences in place
- training, support and community involvement accessed
- reward and recognition celebrated and shared
- opportunities to feedback and shape the service provided
Volunteering with Us
If you would like to volunteer within our services, please contact the relevant location directly and they can discuss this with you. All our locations are listed in the menu above, each having their own page on our website including contact information.
Alternatively, we sometimes advertise for specific skills that we are looking for that would make a big difference to our services. These more specific opportunities can be found further down this page under 'Volunteer Opportunities'.
Volunteer Action Group
Our Volunteer Action Group is an opportunity for volunteers to meet each other and engage with our services. Come and learn more about the range and breadth of activities undertaken by fellow volunteers and discuss all aspects of volunteering with Wirral Evolutions Day Services.

This week is Volunteer's Week which celebrates the amazing contributions volunteers make to communities across the UK.
The celebration starts on the first Monday in June every year. It’s a chance to recognise, celebrate and thank the UK’s incredible volunteers for all they contribute to our local communities, the voluntary sector, and society as a whole.
We are taking the opportunity to celebrate the work done by the volunteers who give their time across our services. We will be sharing stories of individuals on our social media: X (formerly twitter), and Facebook. We are also having a special event to say thank you to our volunteers on 6th June.
