Volunteer Telford

Deliver food/meals to luncheon clubs and residents in their own homes.

A growing number of people are housebound, isolated and lonely, or at risk of becoming so. 
Bird feeding can provide great pleasure to those who are housebound and a weekly visit by a bird feeding friend can offer valuable regular social contact.
Volunteers are matched with someone in the community (preferably nearby in adjacent streets) who is isolated or at risk of becoming so, with the aim of helping them attract birds to their garden.

Volunteers will visit clients in their home, once/twice a week for up to an hour, to help feed the birds. This will include,putting up bird feeders, cleaning them, replacing seed and chatting about birds that have been using the feeders.

Does volunteering in one of our shops sound right up your street? Being part of our retail team is fun, busy and most of all rewarding.

There are so many ways to get involved from being on the shop floor stocking shelves and rails, welcoming and serving customer and for the creative making wonderful displays or if you prefer the backroom you can sort, tag and prepare donations ready for sale.

Whichever role or location suits you, you’ll help create memorable shopping experiences that raise over £1.5 million every year for our care services.

We have 11 shops across the Telford and Wrekin area: Arleston, Bridgnorth, Brooklands, Hadley, Ironbridge, Lawley, Madeley, Newport, Oakengates, Shifnal, Wellington.

PODS Befriending Scheme is a network of trained parent volunteers who support other parents of children with special needs at the time of diagnosis or during challenging times related to their child’s disability.

Every Befriender is someone whose own child has special needs.

They know what it is like to cope with a new diagnosis and the challenges that come with it in the future. 

This service is free and confidential.

We support parents of children with any type of disability or special need. As a parent of a child with a special need or disability you have something unique to offer. Your own experiences mean that you can empathise with other parents and help them to make positive adjustments to the news of their child’s special need/disability or you can provide support when they are facing new challenges.

Many parents find it invaluable to have another parent to talk to who can understand and listen.

So why not become a PODS Befriender, support other local parents, and strengthen our local community?
