WM Action - Community Service Volunteers (CSV)

At the Action Desk we bring charities and organisations together with the local community. This is done through local radio by broadcasting volunteering and learning opportunities.

Our projects involve a wide range of subjects; from helping with the makeover of a mentoring room at a local school, to recruiting volunteers to record the first signs of spring.

Dedicated team

We’ve got a great team of dedicated volunteers from all age groups, led by Action Desk Producer Maggie Smith.

We answer queries from our listeners, produce information packs and support local events.

Lifelong Learning

Encouraging lifelong learning is an important part of what the Action Desk does. The message is that it’s never too late to learn and we are always promoting opportunities for you to learn more about your hobbies and interests, gain qualifications or just get out and meet new people and do something interesting with your time.

Volunteering

Volunteering is also key to what we do at the Action Desk. There are a hundreds of charities and organisation in the West Midlands that could use your time and experience. From animal welfare groups to helping the young and old alike.

You’d be surprised just how much you get back when you give just a little of your time.
