Home-Start volunteers are of all ages and come from all walks of life. A number of volunteers have been in receipt of Home-Start support themselves. Their aim is to work alongside families, empowering them to become independent.

All home visiting volunteers need to have been parents themselves or have had parenting experience.

Volunteers are recruited for their friendliness, understanding and caring approach. The preparation course gives you a chance to get to know the staff and other volunteers, our approach and the way we work. It also gives us a chance to get to know you. The course covers topics such as safeguarding children, confidentiality and health and safety, as well as giving you the opportunity to explore some of your own values and attitudes.

Whilst you are visiting a family on behalf of Home-Start you will be supported by a member of staff. Home-Start Telford & Wrekin offers volunteers training and social gatherings throughout the year.

We are looking for volunteers to train as Walk Leaders to guide free, short, and friendly group walks to help people in the community stay active and make social connections. We are a well-established group who walk daily including some evenings throughout Telford and Wrekin.

You will welcome participants, especially beginners or people returning to physical activity, ensuring everyone feels safe and valued.

We will ask you to keep track of attendance numbers and report any accidents or incidents, you will be given training and ongoing support to help you.

Your role will include planning short walks, usually between 30 and 90 minutes over easy terrain at a steady, inclusive pace. Your planning will include assessing for risks to ensure group safety.

The Training includes two, short online courses, and 2 online documents to read, shadowing a walk with a current Walk Leader and an in-person session followed by a walk under observation.

If you have any difficulty with any aspects of the training, please speak to us.

We ask you join one of our walks before enrolling on the training to gauge whether they meet your expectations.

Allsports Coaches Coaching Academy CIC (ACCA) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that supports veterans, blue light workers and others to become sports coach practitioners who positively influence the lives of children and young people.

Through sport, mentoring and community engagement, ACCA works with schools, families and communities to help young people build confidence, resilience and wellbeing while developing positive life skills.

We believe the leadership, discipline and lived experience developed through service and other careers can make a powerful difference when applied to coaching and mentoring young people.

We are currently seeking volunteers who are reliable, supportive and interested in helping us expand our impact within communities.

Opportunities exist in areas such as social media support, marketing, administration, governance support and events.

Volunteers may assist with promoting our work, supporting organisational administration, helping coordinate activities or contributing professional skills that support the wider work of ACCA.

Volunteers will receive an induction, mentoring and opportunities to gain experience and develop new skills, and agreed out-of-pocket expenses can be reimbursed.

If you share our passion for supporting communities and helping young people thrive, we would be delighted to hear from you.
