Darlington Council for Voluntary Service and Volunteer Bureau is hosting an event for volunteers week.

Meet The Volunteers will be held at the group's offices in Church Row next Thursday.

Volunteers from organisations from across Darlington will be on hand to talk about their experiences volunteering. People who wish to find out more about volunteering are invited to attend.

Helen Crute, office manager at CVS, said: "The best way to find out what volunteering is all about is to talk to someone already doing it."

Organisations taking part include Victim Support, Darlington Association on Disability, Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and Darlington Mind Limited.
