Volunteer Fair returns to Kettering Market Place for second year
Kettering Volunteer Fair will return to the Market Place for its second year after its inaugural success.
People interested in volunteering in Kettering can go along to a special street fair in the town centre to find out how they can get involved in volunteering and help others by joining local groups and charities.
The Volunteer Fair will take place on Saturday, May 30, from 10am to 3pm in Market Place and High Street, where a range of local groups, charities and non-profit organisations will be showcasing the volunteer opportunities they have available.
Emma Dezelu, clerk of Kettering Town Council, said: “Our Volunteer Fair turned out to be really popular last year and is a fantastic way to spend a Saturday in town. There will be a great selection of street food and stalls as well as live performances to keep everyone entertained.
"We are really pleased to be able to offer our voluntary sector groups the opportunity to promote themselves and recruit more volunteers. They do so much for our town and it’s wonderful to be able to support them as they continue their great work.”
The event will also feature street food, stalls, arts and crafts traders, live music and performances.
