Volunteer Telford

The Leegomery Community Centre is looking for volunteer cleaners to clean our building before, during and after user groups etc and to prepare for the next groups attending the Centre.

Cleaning materials and supplies are provided and located at the Centre. A cleaning schedule is provided and duties include: Cleaning the floors, doors, touch points, toilets, sinks, tops, window sills, emptying rubbish bins and cleaning them and any other areas etc. that are required.

We endeavour to keep the Centre clean and tidy at all times and to do this, we need help from a team of volunteers to ensure that our members/users/customers have the best possible experience at the Centre and know that we take tidiness and cleanliness very seriously to operate safely.

Organisation aims and objectives

To provide a safe environment for the people in our community to use our facilities and take part in activities within our Community Centre.  To provide a safe, friendly environment for our Centre Users, Employees, Leaseholders and the General Public.

Role Description

We ask cleaning volunteers to undertake the following tasks:

Interact with Leegomery Community Centre Staff and contribute to the smooth running of service

Cleaning all areas required within the Leegomery Community Centre (cleaning schedule will be provided)

Help with Stock control and ordering

Provide a friendly, helpful and professional service to customers using the centre.

Any other cleaning duties as required.

Experience of prior cleaning is beneficial.

We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation.

The main role of a Community Ambassador is to speak publicly on behalf of TWAM and be our public face in their locality. This will mean receiving invitations from a variety of groups wanting a volunteer speaker to talk about TWAM.

Talks can be from 10 minutes to 40 minutes long and may include a Q&A session. Please don’t worry as we will not ask you to speak at a meeting you are not confident to attend.

What are we looking for?

This is a great role for a confident speaker who wants to share our passion to transform lives through skills training and tools. You’ll need access to transport, and if you use your car, legally we will also need to check you have adequate motor insurance and your car has an MOT.

What will you be doing?

Groups such as Rotary, U3A, and WI ask for talks about TWAM. We also work with many Churches who ask us to speak at Church Services and Mid-week meetings (we will only ask a Christian comfortable with this setting to speak at Churches).

We will provide talks and presentations that you can use, and for our busiest Community Ambassadors, we can also provide projectors and screens.

We ask our Ambassadors to try and get their own meetings as well as waiting for those referred by us. An email or phone call to a local group will often lead to an invitation.

What difference will you make?

This is an incredibly rewarding role as you get to meet lots of people and excite and enthuse them with the work of TWAM. Your enthusiasm will also help TWAM raise vital funds, gain the tools we need to operate, and gain new volunteers. This is a great difference to make!

Volunteer benefits.

You’ll join our Speaker Network with lots of support, resources, ideas and opportunities for training. You receive a Speaker Pack, TWAM polo-shirt and fleece. You’ll be invited to Volunteer Days and Open Days.

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.

Our donated furniture shop in Wellington provides a service for people who want to dispose of unwanted furniture, and for those people who want to buy good quality furniture at a reasonable price.  

They also provide the charity with an income that allows us to continue to provide much needed services for local older people.

We are looking for warehouse/van driver assistants to work in a team of three with our van driver to pick up furniture donations and deliver items that have been purchased from the shop.
