The crowd at Radio 1's Big Weekend 2025 in Liverpool.

Then a new volunteer project is just for you!

City Volunteers is a new way of contributing to making Sunderland a better place - a network of volunteers who get exclusive opportunities direct from the project's key city partners.

You could get involved in musical festivals, the city's markets or special events such as BBC Radio One's Big Weekend this May.
