Volunteer Telford

Chatterbox is our award-winning, flagship befriending service designed to support those who find themselves isolated, vulnerable, and/or alone in later life.

Volunteers with our Chatterbox programme are matched with a client, most of whom are socially isolated and/or lonely, with whom they organise a weekly phone call at a mutually convenient time. 

As well as offering a listening ear and companionship, our befrienders are able to sign post individuals to other agencies who may be able to offer further support as and when appropriate. We give our befrienders comprehensive training and support throughout their time with Omega.

All volunteering time with Chatterbox is completed from the comfort of your own home.

We are a charity working with adults with learning disabilities and autism. We are about to move out of our traditional day centre into the community based at our new hub at Blists Hill Museum.

Then we hope to be out exploring, volunteering and taking part in different activities across the ten museum sites as well as other local places!
Would you be able to become part of our volunteer driver team, to help us get about? It would be an amazing service you’d be offering, allowing the adults we support to explore this beautiful area in a new and exciting way!
Please get in touch for more details, it would be great to have you as part of our team!

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.

Are you qualified, knowledgeable or experienced on a particular topic? Would you be willing to share your expertise with our staff or customers?

Topics might include mental health, substance misuse, anxiety, first aid, professional boundaries etc.

If you could run a session or workshop on any of the above topics or perhaps a different topic that you feel might be of benefit then please get in touch.
