Volunteer

Last year 1,521 volunteers donated 10,829 hours to supporting our work.   Volunteers aged 18-80 helped deliver 179 events from outreach stalls in shopping centres and at village fetes to Open Eco Homes tours and talks, from Repair Cafes to Swishes (clothes swaps). 

We’re currently looking for:

Repairers – if you’re a confident repairer, and happy to help people get things fixed, we’d love you to join our band of repairers.  Find out more at Repair with us – Cambridge Carbon Footprint.

Volunteers to support our Open Eco Homes programme.  If you’ve been to one of our Open Eco Homes tours in previous years, then please consider volunteering to act as a tour host.  We are also looking for volunteers to support at in-person talks and online events.  If you would like to discuss these opportunities, please email info@cambridgecarbonfootprint.com

Volunteering with CCF

Everything we do at Cambridge Carbon Footprint is possible only because of generous donations of time, skills, knowledge and talent.  We can’t thank our volunteers enough.    

Volunteer Case Studies

Peter - Comm's Support

"I got involved initially when they asked me to come in and run a session on how they could market themselves and communicate more effectively...I love small organisations with ambitions to punch above their weight, which is CCF all over."

Bernard - Home Energy Helper

“I have been involved for 5 years and in that time been involved with the Climate Friendly Homes and as a Thermal Imaging Surveyor, a helper on stalls and Open Eco Homes steward.”

Jane - Trustee

"CCF is thoughtful, lively, inclusive. You will stretch and challenge yourself, meet some interesting people. A low-carbon future could be so very good! It matters that we move things as far as we can in the right direction."

Tom - Repair Engineer

"I am particularly keen on consumer technology and repairs. The best bits about being involved are celebrating successful events when we've inspired new people."

Bev - Outreach Team

“I love running workshops for new audiences, hearing their views, getting new ideas… Climate change can be a daunting challenge - even though we are only working locally, it is amazing how much more positive I feel because I'm working with other like-minded people”

Brand - Cook

“I started in the kitchen at the Food Conference and I have been involved in the 5:2 Good Food Challenge…The passion, support and knowledge which is available (at CCF) is amazing”

Katie - Designer

"The best bit about being with CCF is experienc in the hype when we are on the final run up to an event and everyone is working together to get things ready - there's an excited energy."
