Are you looking for a fun and meaningful way to complete the volunteering section of your Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award? Or are you a CAG Somerset group interested in welcoming a DofE volunteer?

CAG Somerset groups run inspiring community projects across the county — from repair cafés and community fridges to swap shops and composting projects. These are fantastic opportunities for young people to learn vital skills, give back to their community, and gain valuable experience that counts towards their DofE Award.

For Students and Parents

Volunteering with a CAG Somerset group can help you:

• Build practical skills (e.g. repair, food handling, teamwork, customer service).
• Gain confidence and independence in a real community setting.
• Contribute to positive action on climate, waste reduction, and community resilience.

Whether it’s helping at a community fridge, supporting a swap shop, or assisting at a repair café, you’ll be part of a team making a real difference.
