Volunteer Centre West Berkshire‘s annual volunteer recruitment fair, V365, took place on Saturday 11 January 2025 at the Corn Exchange in Newbury.
The fair attracted a full house of over 50 charities and community organisations seeking volunteers in West Berkshire.
The atmosphere was buzzing with the fair attracting a high number of visitors. We look forward to reviewing the feedback from the more than 300 potential volunteers who attended.
