Interested in advice work?
With the Manchester Volunteer Advice Project you can volunteer in five advice services who work with members of the community – Cheetham Hill Advice Centre, Manchester Mind, the Manchester Refugee Support Network, the Young People’s Support Foundation and the Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit.
