Volunteer Telford

We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation.

County Ambassador Volunteers.

County Ambassador will assist our Volunteering Coordinator by proactively looking for opportunities to promote the mission and expand awareness of our work. This can be through speaking engagements, which can be in Church groups, Rotary groups, WI, U3A, retirement and community groups or local shows and events.

We would also like you to support our other remote working volunteers, as it can be lonely working as a Tool Ambassador, Community Ambassador, or Champion with  little personal contact with TWAM.

This role can offer a vital and comforting link for everyone involved. This is a great role for someone with drive, initiative, and passion who wants to use those qualities to transform lives.

What are we looking for?

TWAM is looking for honesty, openness, and someone who will be a credit to a big-hearted compassionate charity. We expect you to be diligent in your role and share our passion for lives transformed through livelihood-creating tools.

Because many speaking engagements come from churches, it is an advantage to be a Christian and essential to be in sympathy with the values and motivation of the Christian community.

This is a great role for someone who likes to show initiative and who shares our passion for livelihood creation. It’s a great role for someone who likes meeting people and getting involved in their community. If this is you, we’d love to hear from you.

What will you be doing?

The County Ambassador will work with our Volunteering Coordinator to:

Support our team of local volunteers (the people who collect tools, speak on our behalf and represent us in churches and community groups)

Recruit new volunteers

Promote our work locally

Help organise and run local events

Identify potential collection points or opportunities to establish local groups

Represent TWAM where opportunities arise

Events Assistants Volunteering Role opportunities to help support with annual Lawley Christmas Fayre event taking place on Saturday 7th December 2024.

Event is organised in partnership with Lawley & Overdale Parish Council, Bournville Village Trust and Lawley Partnership Board.

Introduction to Ironbridge Coracle Trust and the Supporter’s offer The Ironbridge Coracle Trust project is a NLHF project which began in August 2019 and will be completed by the end of October 2022. The project has enabled the Trust to restore the Old Coracle Shed, create a Coracle Man Sculpture, and a New Shed which is now a museum telling the story of Coracles in Ironbridge and run a varied programme of community focused events.

As the project comes to an end, we need to look at sustainability of the site without the financial support of the Heritage Fund. This is where our new ‘Supporter’ offer will be useful. Not only do we see it as a way to make some financial income, but it is also a great way to get our message out to a wider audience, recruit volunteers and market our activities to a wider audience. We aim to launch the offer at the upcoming Regatta.

We have a small team who have currently been planning the offer and launch but we are now looking for someone with more expertise to help us push forward and make sure our launch is as successful as possible.
