Volunteer with
Exeter Community Transport Association...
Exeter Community Transport Association relies on volunteers to run our
services which make such an important difference in the lives of
disabled people in and around Exeter.
We currently have 24 people volunteering with ECTA, but we have far more opportunities than people at present.
Our volunteers help us to man our services, spread the word, raise valuable funds and enable us to run projects and services which would, otherwise, not be able to take place.
You can help to contribute to our development by volunteering your time in a wide range of ways. Some of the current roles are detailed below. Further details of the roles are available by clicking on the links to open a full role description in Adobe Acrobat™
