Change lives through VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do, helping create welcoming, supportive spaces where people feel understood and included.
Volunteering with the BOWRA Foundation is flexible and shaped around each individual, whether that means getting involved once or supporting our work on a more regular basis.
Who can volunteer
Volunteering with BOWRA Foundation is open to everyone. We welcome people from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience, family members, carers, students, professionals and members of the wider community. Many volunteers work alongside our military veterans, bringing different skills, experiences and perspectives together.
