A SHOWCASE celebrating the district’s unsung heroes comes to Kidderminster Town Hall this March.

Local charities, support groups and other organisations who rely on the goodwill of volunteers will be promoting a number of roles - from maintaining the district’s canals to providing admin support and completing DIY projects.

The event is organised by Wyre Forest District Council in partnership with Vestia, Kidderminster College and The Department for Work and Pensions and will give more than 30 community groups a platform to talk to people about a wide range of volunteering opportunities.

There will be a number of events going on throughout the day with The Wheelie Different Theatre Group opening the show with an uplifting song and the New Dementional choir performing at lunchtime.

Prospects Services is also running a workshop giving people an opportunity to work on their CV.

The Volunteer and Skills Fair will be held on Thursday, March 26 from 10am to 2pm.

Free food and refreshments are being supplied by Vestia.

Councillor Nicky Martin, Wyre Forest District Council’s cabinet member for housing, health, wellbeing and democratic services, said: “Come along to our Volunteer and Skills Fair to find out about the various volunteering opportunities we currently have in the district.

“Volunteers are the backbone of many community groups, which is why we want to give them a platform to showcase all the amazing things they do.

“If you have a few hours spare each month, this could be your opportunity to get out, meet new friends, network and make a real difference.”
