Volunteering at Aerobility
Aerobility, as a ‘volunteer-delivered organisation’, is supported by a dedicated and enthusiastic network of volunteers. We couldn’t share the magic of flight with as many people as we do, without the help of our amazing volunteers. We love welcoming new volunteers and it’s great to share a diverse range of skills and experience as we work together.
Many would love to be part of our charity but are uncertain about their involvement as they are not themselves disabled. Don't worry! That's great - we need the support of able bodied as well as disabled individuals, companies and organisations. If you are able bodied, perhaps you can help out on the ground, or in the air?
We have lots of different ways in which people can volunteer their time; anyone with a passion for flight or disability issues will feel at home. Our volunteers currently help us with flying days, events, exhibitions, administrative tasks, fundraising and much, much more.
Do you have skills that you feel may be useful to us? Don't keep it to yourself...
