Volunteer Telford

Event Volunteer

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 these events, anything from karaoke to clay modelling to yoga!

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.

Read Easy Telford and Shropshire East is affiliated to Read Easy UK, a national charity that helps adults learn to read and which has nearly 60 groups across England.

Read Easy Telford & Wrekin was established in 2019 and continues to grow to be a highly impactful local group with an increasing number of Reading Pairs (Reading Coach and Reader).

It is run by a hard-working, dedicated group of team members, all of whom are also volunteers.
The group is now seeking a new Publicity Organiser.

Spreading the word is key to your local community understanding what your Read Easy group does and how people can get the reading support they need or volunteer to help.

You will be creative, determined and passionate about communications, and bringing people together. You’ll be confident using local media, social media, and creating leaflets, posters and other resources provided by Read Easy UK to help get the message out there into your community about the life-changing journey of learning to read.

Once the local community and media hear about the thousands of adults who can’t read in the area, it will be your responsibility to make sure that your local Read Easy group is able to capitalise on this attention!

We have worked with a range of fantastic psychologists and truly gifted professionals who delivered some truly spectacular workshops for us. 

We want to continue providing a range of wellbeing support to the community and would like your help in doing that.

Telford and Wrekin Council offer an activity volunteer programme for their Care Leavers. The programme’s aim is to develop individuals and group participation, increase wellbeing, team building skills, motivation and social inclusion.

This role will be to support the Participation Officer in the delivery of the leaving care team participation activities and events.

Responsibilities would include assisting the Participation Officer to manage group dynamics, engage with the young people and participate in a range of participation workshops and activities.
