If you have signed up to become a member of Warwick Volunteers, you will now receive a weekly newsletter which will have details of all current opportunities.

Due to the very high level of interest in Warwick Volunteers projects this year, sign up for specific projects is now closed. If you have expressed an interest in a project, our Project leaders will get back to you over the next few days, but as many projects are over subscribed the specific projects you are interested in may already be full.

We do have many opportunities during the year and the best way to keep up to date is by checking our weekly newsletter and liking our Facebook page!

This week's important news and great volunteering opportunities!

On Saturday 28^th January 2012 students and Canley residents rolled up their sleeves as they planted trees in support of a campaign to tidy up Coventry.

About 30 volunteers grabbed their shovels and got stuck in to the tree-planting mission at Canley Brook, next to Charter Primary school to help brighten up the area.
