As an IWFM volunteer, you can: 

• Build your professional network locally and across the UK

What our volunteers say 

‘Even small contributions can make a difference, whether that is helping organise events, sharing experiences or simply encouraging others to get involved.’ 
– Mark Jenkins, IWFM Region Chair 

What to expect 

Volunteering is most rewarding when you take an active role as part of a team. These opportunities are best suited to members who want to contribute, take part and make a difference. 

Roles are flexible and can be matched to your skills, experience and availability wherever possible.
