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.

Home-Start volunteers are of all ages and come from all walks of life. A number of volunteers have been in receipt of Home-Start support themselves. Their aim is to work alongside families, empowering them to become independent.

All home visiting volunteers need to have been parents themselves or have had parenting experience.

Volunteers are recruited for their friendliness, understanding and caring approach. The preparation course gives you a chance to get to know the staff and other volunteers, our approach and the way we work. It also gives us a chance to get to know you. The course covers topics such as safeguarding children, confidentiality and health and safety, as well as giving you the opportunity to explore some of your own values and attitudes.

Whilst you are visiting a family on behalf of Home-Start you will be supported by a member of staff. Home-Start Telford & Wrekin offers volunteers training and social gatherings throughout the year.

AFC Telford is looking to recruit more volunteers to help on match days at the Telford Ground.

Would you like to be part of a friendly team of volunteers, and can you spare a few hours on Saturdays and sometimes during the week, for home games only?

Not every game requires a full turnstile crew and there are occasions when we need people to cover illness etc. for our regular staff; if you can’t commit to every game don’t worry, once we have a full team, others can cover you once in a while so we can be flexible.

Are you the right person for the role?

AFC Turnstile Operators

The role is very simple – you are based in the turnstiles, provided with a scanner on a mobile phone, and all we ask is that you use the camera function (which is linked to the relevant ticket checking software) to check tickets as fans arrive – it is that easy!

You would be required from 13.30 to 15.15 on Saturdays and 18.15 to 20.00 for mid-week games when we play at home.

The bonus is that if you wish to stay and enjoy the game when your turnstile closes, you get free entry - or if you prefer to go home that is fine too.

Telford After Care Team CIO and Branches TACT are a dedicated support charity helping the people of Telford and Wrekin who are struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues.  We run a drop in facility for anyone who needs help between the hours of 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. 

We have a timetable of free events and peer support activities, free on site listening support, a supported housing facility, outreach and a crisis night service (professional referral-into).

Our volunteers receive free accredited training, full expenses, and a dbs check.

Our staff all have lived experience of mental health/addiction/the justice system/social services etc.  It’s our company pledge that we help people to realise their potential and help others in a safe, encouraging environment.  Strickland House is a friendly, lively and non-judgmental place.

We offer volunteering opportunities in Support Work, Reception Desk, Café, Gardening, Facilitating groups, Administration, Creative Writing, Singing and much more.
