Get involved

Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the Borough.

You don't need to have any special skills or knowledge to be a volunteer. All you need is enthusiasm for improving, promoting and being active in your local area. Volunteering has many rewarding benefits such as meeting new people, improved fitness levels, develop new skills, being part of a team and making South Tyneside a great place to live, invest and bring up families.

If you would like to volunteer, Love South Tyneside can support you to be matched to an organisation that can use your skills. Email LoveST@southtyneside.gov.uk
