Wolds Volunteer Network
As part of the Coronation celebrations, King Charles III is placing great emphasis on volunteering and, as a way of acknowledging this, Driffield Town Council are launching the Wolds Volunteer Network.
The Council wish to create a directory of organisations from Driffield and the surrounding villages that welcome the involvement of volunteers. We wish to provide a simple, easily accessible way for those who want to help out in their community to access the groups who need volunteers!
