Our volunteers play a vital role at Horton Housing by helping us to deliver good quality services for people in Bradford, Kirklees, Calderdale and North Yorkshire.
We are committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive and professional environment for our volunteers and are proud to hold Investing in Volunteers accreditation. More information about what this means can be found here.
Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills and meet people. It can also help you to gain confidence, keep active, have a sense of purpose, gain work experience and improve your mental health.
We welcome volunteers with a wide range of abilities and from diverse backgrounds that represent the communities we support. Our pool of volunteers includes retired people, students, working age people and people with lived experience who have accessed our services. Our dedicated volunteer team are happy to discuss how we can best support you on your volunteering journey.
