Online Listings Volunteer

Can you help your local British Heart Foundation shop in Wellington?

Online selling is a fast growing and exciting way to retail in the digital age, so if you would like to get involved in this, come join us at your local BHF shop and help create online sales listings to promote the varied items that we sell.

Maybe you already know your way around online selling platforms or maybe it’s something you want to find out more about, either way you will be fully supported in this role to make sure you develop the skills and experience needed to become an expert online Lister.

Get the satisfaction of seeing the items you list sell for the best possible prices, knowing this will be helping us continue to fund lifesaving research.

We can accept volunteers from age 16.

We can reimburse reasonable travelling expenses and we provide tea, coffee and biscuits.

We are open 9.30am to 5pm Monday to Saturday

Local homelessness organisations Stay, Maninplace and YMCA are looking for a handyman or women to carry out general DIY tasks in the flats/houses that we manage in Telford.

Please get in touch if you are able to offer some time to help us maintain the accommodation offered to the people we help.

You would be required to undertake internal and external DIY tasks such as repairs and maintenance. This could include building flat pack furniture, hanging pictures, putting up curtain poles, minor plumbing and electrical tasks, painting & decorating etc.

Activity Assistant.  We hold a regular Youth Club for any young carers who want to come, on alternate Wednesday evenings (5-7pm) for different age carers (one week primary school age, the following week secondary school age). 

If you're over 16 you can support our younger group and if you're 18+ you can support both groups.  You'll work in within our team of staff and other volunteers, preparing and taking part in activities (games, crafts, lego, computer games, sports etc). 

We also provide a filling meal so you might be on kitchen duty some weeks! You'll play alongside the children, making sure they have lots of fun, and also be a listening ear if they have any worries they want to talk about. 

Join our fun-loving team and we'll pay you for any travel or other expenses and you'll receive training and ongoing support.

PODS Befriending Scheme is a network of trained parent volunteers who support other parents of children with special needs at the time of diagnosis or during challenging times related to their child’s disability.

Every Befriender is someone whose own child has special needs.

They know what it is like to cope with a new diagnosis and the challenges that come with it in the future. 

This service is free and confidential.

We support parents of children with any type of disability or special need. As a parent of a child with a special need or disability you have something unique to offer. Your own experiences mean that you can empathise with other parents and help them to make positive adjustments to the news of their child’s special need/disability or you can provide support when they are facing new challenges.

Many parents find it invaluable to have another parent to talk to who can understand and listen.

So why not become a PODS Befriender, support other local parents, and strengthen our local community?
