Trafford Volunteer Fair 2026 to take place at Sale Library in June

Sale residents are being invited to celebrate the borough's volunteers at a special event next month.

Trafford Volunteer Fair 2026 will take place on Monday 01 June from 4pm to 6pm at Sale Library.

The event, part of Volunteers' Week, is a free, family-friendly gathering of charities and community groups. Attendees will have the chance to chat with organisations from the area, try interactive activities and explore volunteering opportunities in the borough.

According to the council, it is estimated that there are over 1,622 voluntary and community organisations in the borough, contributing around £139 million to the economy and an estimated 34,000 volunteers are supporting the Volunteer, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector – and more volunteers are always needed.

Cllr Rose Thompson, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Communities and Safety, said: “Trafford has an army of superb volunteers and we are extremely proud of each and every one of them. Residents are invited to come along to the event and learn more. You may even fancy volunteering yourself and becoming one of the many heroes who help support our VCFSE sector.”

The event is free, with refreshments available and residents can simply turn up on the day. For more information about volunteering in Trafford, visit traffordcollective.org.uk/volunteer.
