Q. Why volunteer for CGD Society?

A. You will be making a real difference to families and individuals affected by CGD in the UK and internationally. We are the only UK registered charity providing vital support services and information to those affected and their wider family and we are a small team trying to make a difference. There is also the sense of achievement in knowing you have helped others.

All volunteering posts are not paid but we will cover any expenses occurred within reason.

Q. How much time do I need to give?
