• Holding the leadership to account for the performance of the school
• Making sure that resources are used well and that money is well spent.

This fantastic behind-the-scenes support helps our hospice services run smoothly and efficiently. If you’re friendly and organised with basic IT skills or an admin whizz with time to spare, becoming an administration volunteer could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Local homelessness organisations Stay, Maninplace, Kip and YMCA are seeking passionate and caring people to help fundraise in order to raise vital funds for their work supporting homeless and vulnerable people in the area.

We need help with fundraising events already set up, arranging new fundraising events and encouraging others to fundraise to help Telford's homeless.

There is no set requirement regarding the amount of time it is simply as much time as you are able to give. No previous experience required.

So if you have a passion for helping homeless and vulnerable people then please get in touch and help us to support people to change their lives and leave homelessness behind forever.
