After a period in our lives like no other, it’s time to continue rebuilding together.
Volunteer Expo Live is all about connecting communities, and bringing together a cross section of society under one roof.
We want to foster the community spirit we’ve seen during 2020 and 2021, and make that a lasting legacy of the pandemic.
For 2022, we're back and we're live! After a virtual event in 2021, we're so excited to be back live and in-person at the NEC, Birmingham on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th May 2022!
The event will continue to help you find volunteering opportunities to suit you, connect with charities and not-for-profit organisations, and celebrating aspects of our communities that unite us.
At Volunteer Expo Live you’ll be able to meet over 100 leading local, national and global charities and organisations in our large exhibition and find volunteer opportunities supporting the causes you carer about.
Enjoy inspiring speaker sessions with celebrity campaigners, charity leaders and real-life volunteering heroes.
Plus, live and interactive workshops are back on the menu, covering a range of topics from mental health and the environment, to homelessness and disaster response.
Volunteer Expo is hosted by Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland, who have supported good causes and community volunteering for over 100 years.
