Volunteer Telford

The Hub on the Hill is going to be opening, once a month, the “Memory Lane” Café for individuals who care for or experience the effects of Dementia. In doing so we are looking for members of the local community who can volunteer their time to support this new venture. Are you interested? If so ask yourself these questions:

- Do you want to support the Hub on the Hill, and get involved in community projects?

- Do you have a few spare hours once a month on a Tuesday between the hours of 10.00 and 12.30pm

- Do you have experience, or have supported individuals with Dementia in the past, or are just interested in making a difference to someone’s life living with Dementia or caring for someone with Dementia  

- Do you have any hidden talents, such as arts and crafts, singing, story telling and knowledge of the local area?

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, we would really like to hear from you.

The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) is the Drowning Prevention Charity and the UK’s leading provider of water safety and drowning prevention education. We rely on local groups of volunteers to help us deliver our ambitions in their areas, and the Shropshire Branch is looking to develop it's ability to deliver these messages.

We are seeking individuals who are keen to learn CPR, choking and drowning prevention skills, and then be able to share these with others in informal settings. We will provide all the training needed to fulfil the role, allowing you to help save lives. All resources will be provided. Whilst you will be trained and developed locally, and be part of a team in your area, you will also be part of a larger organisation, and learn about national activties and campagns which you may wish to get involved with.

You will learn how to demonstrate basic CPR skills, and ways to deal with choking and drowning incidents to save a life. You will also be able to provide water safety information to the public in fun and engaging ways.

You will be part of a team of instructors in the Telford and Wrekin area.

The knowledge that you are giving people the skills to save a life. You will also gain the skills to perform CPR yourself. You will be part of a local team, so will meet new people and make friends. You will also be part of a wider society that has ambitions of seeing a world where no on loses their life to drowning.

Out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed to fulfil this role.

Approximately 3 hours for each event.There will be various times and dates, which will be agreed with you.

Various locations across Telford and Wrekin.

Volunteers will not be responsible for others, unless they want to have this as a development.

Join our Bucket Brigade and help us with our community bucket collections.

Bucket collections are not only a great way to raise much needed funds for us, but also a great way to connect with our local community.

This is a perfect opportunity if you would like to support us on an ad-hoc or one-off basis. It’s flexible and can easily fit into busy lifestyles.

If you’ve a couple of hours to spare it can really make a huge difference. Money raised through our collections directly supports our caring services.  

Our fundraising diary includes regular collections across the region, anywhere from Dawley Centre to Shrewsbury’s Asda.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in collecting in your local area.

Our tea party group coordinators are a vital part of the Re-engage team.

Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for our older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated.

As a tea party group coordinator, you will ensure older guests know when and where the next tea party will be held and who will be collecting them each month.
