Volunteer Telford

Our event crew play an essential part in making sure our events and activities run smoothly and that all participants and supporters have fantastic experiences.

You can get stuck in setting up and stewarding events like the iconic Dragon Boat Festival, dramatic Fire and Ice Challenge and the poignant Lights of Love service – all of which help us generate vital funds to support our care services.

There are so many exciting opportunities to get involved from welcoming and registering participants, car parking, marshalling a route to handing out medals or running a merchandise stall.

It’s also a brilliant way to volunteer on an ad-hoc basis and can fit around busy lives. 

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 or hospital/dentist appointments etc. by driving the people we support to where they need to go.

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.

With appointments the date and time cannot be changed so it would be brilliant for us if we could build up a bank of drivers so that we can eventually get to a place where we have a thriving community of adults we support being able to be even more independent whether it is an important appointment or a shopping trip to buy that special birthday present!

The role involves visiting people, over 50, at home or meeting with them at another location, to provide company and help for them to build confidence in getting out and about.  Visiting at home can include accompanying people on short trips to the shops, cafe, or for a walk but this is not compulsory.

Oxfam Wellington is recruiting!

Located at 2a Duke Street, we are looking for shop volunteers to join our amazing team led by Shop Manager Sarah Pember.

Oxfam retail volunteers make a real impact every shift and help us work towards a world where everyone has the power to thrive not just survive.

Our shops sell donated items to raise funds for Oxfam's work, as well as reducing waste by giving items a second life.

As a Shop Volunteer you will learn all about what goes into making our fantastic shop thrive. You’ll develop skills that boost your confidence – improving your communication skills serving customers on the till and embracing your creative flair to develop stylish window displays!

You can keep busy in the stockroom sorting and checking donations or be on the shop floor, putting stock out on sale – the opportunities are endless!
