Welcome to Mind the Gap
We all have gaps we’d like to fill in our lives.

It might be that a gap in your experience is preventing you from getting your dream job, or perhaps you wish someone would fill the boredom gap by giving young people somewhere to go after school.

Or maybe it’s something much bigger, like frustration with local transport or lack of ethnic representation on your local council?

You have a chance to fill those gaps – to gain that experience or to improve and strengthen your community.

There are many benefits to volunteering and who knows, it might even be the beginning of a path that will take you to a position to challenge the bigger gaps in your world…

Mind the Gap is a joint venture between TimeBank, Derby Volunteer Bureau, Leicester Voluntary Action and Nottingham Volunteer Centre to encourage more people across the East Midlands to volunteer.
