The People Bank is a group of volunteers working with East Sussex County Council. Members get involved in opportunities, sharing their knowledge and lived experience to help influence the way that social care for adults is provided in East Sussex. Involving People Bank members in our work is one way in which the council consults and engages with clients, carers and residents. Working in partnership helps us to get a clearer understanding of clients’ needs, and better services to meet those needs. We welcome volunteers from all walks of life and want them to enjoy the involvement opportunities they undertake with us. Volunteering means making a difference to others but also offers opportunities to connect with new people, develop new skills and grow your confidence.
