Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills and meet new people at the same time as helping your local community and supporting the Emmaus ethos.

At Emmaus Colchester our volunteers work alongside our companions and staff, sharing activities and responsibilities and helping to build our social enterprise together.

We have listed our current volunteer roles below but the list is endless – if you have an interest or skill you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. We can offer short or long-term positions to suit you. All ages and abilities are welcome – we have something for everyone.
