Volunteer

As a grassroots organisation we broadcast the needs of our small business members, and our volunteers are at the heart of every decision and action we take. Getting involved is only a click away...

FSB is member led and it’s what makes us the leading and authentic voice of the 5.9 million small businesses and self-employed in the UK. Contributing to this voice can be as quick and easy as a 'share' on social media, or as involved as becoming a volunteer and helping to drive FSB's next steps.

Whatever you choose, it matters.

More than 300 FSB staff and volunteers from across the UK came together virtually in March 2021 to celebrate their contribution and show that they are #ProudToBeFSB.

As a grassroots campaigning organisation, FSB’s member volunteers are at the organisation’s heart - ensuring the voice of small businesses is heard by governments at all levels and by other decision makers.
