About us

Volunteer Centre Wellingborough (formerly Wellingborough Volunteer Bureau) is the oldest volunteering agency in the county of Northamptonshire.

Over the years we have placed literally thousands of volunteers with local voluntary and community sector organisations, as well

as establishing and running an enormous variety of projects/services in the area.  We continue this valued service.

All our services, the placing of volunteers, and those which come under the heading of  'Wellingborough Community Transport', i.e. Shopmobility , the Medical Car Scheme and the Wellibus now run from our Orient Way premises. Details of the various services can be found under the sub headings at the top of the page.

We also keep a renewable stock of hearing aid batteries, at the Orient Way premises, a well used service.

Our Friendship Group, for people recovering from mental illness, meets at Salem Hall, Salem Lane, Wellingborough.
