Volunteer Telford

Read Easy Telford and Shropshire East is affiliated to Read Easy UK, a national charity that helps adults learn to read and which has nearly 60 groups across England.

Read Easy Telford & Wrekin was established in 2019 and continues to grow to be a highly impactful local group with an increasing number of Reading Pairs (Reading Coach and Reader).

It is run by a hard-working, dedicated group of team members, all of whom are also volunteers.
The group is now seeking a new Literacy Specialist.

Our Literacy Specialists provide support with literacy issues to the Coordinator and Reading Coaches and assist in running the Reading Coach meetings.

Our volunteer Literacy Specialists feel a real sense of pride in giving practical solutions to their Coordinators and Reading Coaches.

Could you be the friendly face of your local British Heart Foundation shop in Wellington?

Our Sales Floor Volunteers are the first point of contact for customers when they enter our shop.

You will be greeting customers, helping them find the items they’re looking for and answering their questions, with help on hand from the shop team.

You will provide invaluable help in the running of the shop, keeping it stocked and attractively displayed.

We can accept volunteers from age 16.

We can reimburse reasonable travelling expenses and we provide tea, coffee and biscuits.

We are open 9.30am to 5pm Monday to Saturday

If you enjoy driving and would love to use those skills to help our cats, this could be the role for you. Our transport volunteers provide vital assistance to our teams and volunteer groups in the local area by transporting equipment, litter, food– and even cats!

They have the essential role of connecting our network of volunteers, sites, vets and supporters.  Without the passionate and committed teams of volunteers across Cats Protection, we wouldn’t be able to help the thousands of cats and kittens each year that rely on us for help. 

What can you expect to be doing?

 Arranging and transporting equipment, litter and cat food.

Transporting cats to and from vets, foster homes and centres.

Transporting equipment to and from events.

Time expectation - Our transport volunteers usually spend two to four hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.

Support, guidance and keeping you safe -At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams.

We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us. 

The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
