Volunteer Telford

Luv2MeetU and HFT are a charity working with adults with learning disabilities and or autism to provide a fulfilling and engaging life to ensure the best possible experiences and individual requirements for the people we support.

Luv2MeetU (part of the HFT charity) are starting an exciting new programme of face to face and virtual events based at the HFT Forbes Close supported living housing.

We are looking for volunteers to help support any events involving cooking/baking or helping the people we support to learn how to cook or bake and support them in making their own meals.

We will work with you depending on the time you have to give to ensure you benefit too, either with something special for your CV, training or just knowing that you are helping immeasurably to enhance the lives of the adults we support.

It would be an invaluable skill that the adults we support could learn to make them feel full filled and independent. You could help them create a birthday cake for a friend, bake cheese straws and scones on a cooking event or simply help them prepare a healthy lunch.

Drivers take older people to the parties and stay with them to enjoy the get-together. Over time, drivers and older guests get to know each other well and together you will spend many hours full of fun, laughter, and stories.

As a tea party driver, you liaise with your group coordinator and take older guests to and from the tea parties each month. Staying at the tea party is part of your role, so it’s much more than being a driver.

We are a charity working with adults with learning disabilities and autism. We are about to move out of our traditional day centre into the community based at our new hub at Blists Hill Museum.

It’s a brilliant venue but in need of some TLC. Could you help the adults we support as they turn this building into an exciting and vibrant hub?!

Can you garden, paint or bake,do you have wood working skills or maybe you’re an artist who could help with a mural?

If you would like to volunteer in a brilliant new community project please get in touch for more details!

Volunteers needed to work alongside the Community Development Worker on a NEW project within the Army Welfare Service in Telford.  This project is the AWS Donnington Youth Forum and is aimed at young people aged 10-16 years.

The team is looking for enthusiastic and motivated volunteers to work with young people aged 10 years+ who have parents/carers who work in the military (or have previously served or who are reservists)

The main focus of this work is to look at what youth provision or activities they would like to see in the area and help to shape services. 

This will be the beginning of the work- then going into providing what provision is planned.

Likely to be a Wednesday 5.30-7.00pm.  Project due to start in September 2024
