Get Involved: Volunteer Opportunities This Spring with CCDT! 

Spring is just around the corner, and what better way to brighten up your community than by volunteering with the Chichester Community Development Trust. We’ve got plenty of fantastic roles available – whether you’re looking for one-off events or regular ways to give back, there’s something for everyone. 

Ad-hoc Roles 

Easter Kids’ Activities 

7th April – 18th April (weekdays only), 12-2PM 

Help set up fun activities like Lego, crafts, or films, and clear away the space afterward. A great way to brighten young minds this Easter! 

Easter Egg Hunt 

Saturday 19th April 

Shifts available: 9-11AM, 11-1PM, 1-3PM, 3-5PM 

Your task? Be the star of the egg collection room! Greet excited children, hand out eggs, and celebrate their clue-hunting success. 

Regular/Ongoing Roles 

Youth Volunteers for CAP Youth Club 

Fridays, 5-6:30PM (term time only) 

DBS required. Support our new youth club by engaging with young people in a safe, welcoming environment. 

Park Friends 

Saturdays, 10-12 

Join Susan and the team to help maintain Havenstoke Park with pruning, planting, and litter picking. A wonderful way to connect with nature and other locals. 

Fridge Monitor 

Once a week (midweek) 

Check the Community Fridge in Graylingwell Chapel, remove spoiled food, and keep the area clean and tidy. A vital role in reducing food waste! 

Bread Collection 

Saturdays (after midday) 

If you’re already shopping at Sainsbury’s, why not grab our bread donation too? Head to customer service to collect it and deliver it to the Community Fridge. Please note that sometimes donations may not be available so please only consider this role if you do a Sainsburys shop on this day anyway. 

Water Trees 

From April – once a week for 3 hours 

Help keep our newly planted trees healthy! Water them in the early morning or mid-afternoon to ensure the water fully absorbs into the ground. Equipment provided. 

Got a Special Skill or Interest? Become a Group Host! 

Are you a passionate crafter? A photography enthusiast? Love learning languages? If you have a hobby that you’d love to share, become a CCDT group host! We’ll promote your group to help you connect with like-minded locals. Hosting can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly – whatever suits you best. 

Bike Project – Shopwyke Lakes 

Varied days and times available – please get in touch to find out more. Tasks include: 

  • Greeting customers and sharing information about the project 
  • Taking photos and posting updates on social media 
  • Sorting donated bikes and parts 
  • Managing stock and ensuring the retail space is tidy and inviting 

Whether you can spare a couple of hours or are looking to commit to a regular role, we’d love your help! Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet new people, gain new skills, and make a positive impact in your community.
