Countryside
If you care about your environment and want to do something to make a difference, why not join our group of countryside volunteers? As a countryside volunteer, you will carry out conservation tasks across local countryside sites. Countryside Rangers will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.

Wellbeing walks or cycle rides
If you enjoy walking and want to improve lives in your area, why not become a 'Walking for Health' walk leader to lead short walks (10 to 30 minutes).
You will need to attend a minimum of 1 day's free training. We also offer a free 1-day first aid course. For further information please email health@elmbridge.gov.uk or find out more about our wellbeing walks.
Sports club
Volunteers are the key to a successful sports club. There are various ways sports clubs can recruit volunteers, either through existing memberships or by contacting and advertising for specific positions through Volunteer Action Elmbridge, the local volunteer centre.
If you want to become a volunteer for a local club, or have another volunteer opportunity in mind, please email sport@elmbridge.gov.uk.
