Get Involved

Volunteering is a brilliant way to get involved with CARAD. Whether you have an hour, a day, or a week to spare, any time you can offer would be massively appreciated, plus you’ll get lots out of it too! Have you been off work for a while and would like to get back into it? Would you like to gain some valuable experience to show off to your college or new employers? Are you looking to give something back to your community? Do you enjoy being in an inclusive and supportive environment? Would you like to meet new people and learn new things? If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions then we know you will absolutely love volunteering with us! 

Full training and support given.

Would you like to make a donation?

We rely solely on grants, donations and sponsorship to continue our work. As you know, charities have been severely financially hit in recent years and as a result many community organisations like ours have disappeared. CARAD has managed to ride out many storms over the past 30 years but only as a result of the generosity of awarded or donated funds. If you’d like to contribute to our work, however small, every penny and pound counts; we promise it will be put to good use and would be very much appreciated. 

Donating is very quick and simple, just click on the button below or if there is something specific you’d like to sponsor, then please email all@carad.org.uk and we’ll be in touch!
