Welcoming guests
Be the friendly face at the door — greet people, show them to a seat and help everyone feel at home.
Get involved
Be part of it
Chesterfield Together is powered entirely by local people giving a bit of time. There’s no minimum, no interview panel, and no such thing as an unhelpful skill.
Pick your apron
Volunteer roles
Nine ways to help — from the kitchen to the camera. Role requirements are being confirmed and will be published here.
Preparing food
Help in the kitchen peeling, prepping and cooking a proper roast alongside a cheerful team.
Serving meals
Bring plates to tables, keep the gravy flowing and share a chat while you are at it.
Set-up & clean-up
Help lay the tables before guests arrive, or lend a hand with the washing-up and tidying after.
Community check-ins
Keep friendly contact with neighbours who would appreciate it — a visit, a call, a bit of company.
Photography
Capture the warmth of our events so we can share what community looks like (always with consent).
Social media
Help spread the word — share what is on, post photos and keep our neighbours in the loop.
Fundraising
Help keep the ovens on — from collection tins to community fundraisers and local sponsorship.
Practical help
Got a van, a toolbox or a knack for fixing things? Practical skills make a real difference.
Hidden talents welcome
Got a skill we haven’t thought of?
Communities run on odd and wonderful skills. Maybe you can drive a minibus, bake for Britain, fix a leaky tap, design a poster or translate a leaflet. If you’ve got it, there’s almost certainly a neighbour who needs it.
Tell us what you’re good at — surprise us!
Donations & sponsorship
Details to be confirmed
The group is setting up a simple, transparent way to accept donations and local sponsorship. Until then, contact us if you’d like to support the work — we’d love to talk.
Partner with us
Local businesses, venues, schools and groups — if you share the belief that Chesterfield is better together, there are lots of ways to work with us, from venue space to ingredients to volunteer days. Start a conversation.

Volunteering FAQs
Do I need any experience?
No. Every role comes with friendly people to show you the ropes. If you can smile and muck in, you’re qualified.
How much time do I have to give?
As much or as little as you like. Some volunteers help at every event; others give an hour here and there. Both matter.
Will I need any checks or certificates?
TODO: confirm — some roles may need things like a food hygiene certificate or DBS check. Requirements will be confirmed here, and we’ll help you sort any that are needed.
I’m under 18 — can I volunteer?
TODO: confirm — the group is confirming its policy for younger volunteers. Get in touch and we’ll let you know.
What happens after I enquire?
A real person from the group will reply for a friendly, no-pressure chat about what you fancy doing. TODO: confirm the volunteer welcome process.
