Join our Bucket Brigade and help us with our community bucket collections.
Bucket collections are not only a great way to raise much needed funds for us, but also a great way to connect with our local community.

This is a perfect opportunity if you would like to support us on an ad-hoc or one-off basis. It’s flexible and can easily fit into busy lifestyles.

If you’ve a couple of hours to spare it can really make a huge difference. Money raised through our collections directly supports our caring services.

Our fundraising diary includes regular collections across the region, anywhere from Dawley Centre to Shrewsbury’s Asda.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in collecting in your local area

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.

By becoming a Story Starter volunteer you will give a child in a local early years setting/nursery the skills to start primary school ready to read. You’ll open up their lives to the magic of stories and provide crucial language development in a way which is fun for both you and the child!

How does it work?

As a Story Starter you will support three children aged 3-5 years' old on a one-to-one basis, using play and stories to develop and enrich their use of language.

You’ll need to commit to volunteering at a local nursery for one hour, twice a week during nursery hours.

You’ll receive professional training and support to ensure that you are best able to support young children and feel comfortable in a modern nursery setting.
