Volunteering

Many in Histon and Impington get a huge sense of purpose by volunteering to help and support others and there are a whole host of opportunities to volunteer within the village using your individual skills and devoting as much or as little time as you want to. Examples include driving the Community Minibus, driving your own car as part of the Community Car Scheme, Mental Wellbeing Befrienders, Litter Picking, helping at the Community Orchard, marshalling at running and cycling events, the Feast, “Buddying” the minibus drivers (if you don’t feel confident driving such a vehicle yourself), serving pints at the Histon Beer Festival,  becoming a Trustee of a local charity, the schools, the churches, helping at Recreation Ground activities including those for the older people in the villages, Scouting/Guiding, maybe even becoming a Parish Councillor.
