People in Bradford are being urged to mark Volunteer Week (June 1-7) by volunteering for the NSPCC to help end cruelty to children.

The children’s charity has a wide variety of volunteering opportunities available across Bradford, including fundraising, donating time, resources or facilities, or joining one of its fundraising groups.

Wendy Bates, NSPCC head of local fundraising in the north said: “Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. They make the biggest contribution to all our work.

“There are many ways people can support us and our local events. Knowing that you are making a difference to the lives of children is rewarding and inspiring.

“We’d love to hear from you if you are interested in getting involved.”

She added: “There’s no minimum time commitment for volunteering. You can give as much or as little time as you have.”
