Volunteer Telford

Snow Wardens are volunteers who play an active role in their community when the weather takes a turn for the worst.

They help clear side roads and pavements of snow and ice in their local area.  This will not only help your neighbours but also our more vulnerable residents who can't help themselves.

How much time you put in is up to you - all we ask is that you do as much as you can. Snow Wardens duties are seasonal and at times you will need to be reactive to the weather conditions.

What area you cover is up to you too. You can carry out your Snow Warden duties on your own street, housing estate or local area.

AFC Telford is looking to recruit more volunteers to help on match days at the Telford Ground.

Would you like to be part of a friendly team of volunteers, and can you spare a few hours on Saturdays and sometimes during the week, for home games only?

Not every game requires a full turnstile crew and there are occasions when we need people to cover illness etc. for our regular staff; if you can’t commit to every game don’t worry, once we have a full team, others can cover you once in a while so we can be flexible.

Are you the right person for the role?

AFC Turnstile Operators

The role is very simple – you are based in the turnstiles, provided with a scanner on a mobile phone, and all we ask is that you use the camera function (which is linked to the relevant ticket checking software) to check tickets as fans arrive – it is that easy!

You would be required from 13.30 to 15.15 on Saturdays and 18.15 to 20.00 for mid-week games when we play at home.

The bonus is that if you wish to stay and enjoy the game when your turnstile closes, you get free entry - or if you prefer to go home that is fine too.

Do you want to help Borough residents to start talking about Climate Change and Sustainability and to take action?

You don't need to be a Climate Change and Sustainability expert - we want to hear from residents from all walks of life who love talking to people.

We would ideally like our Champions to make changes to their own lifestyles to reduce their carbon footprint and plastic as part of the role and to share your experiences.
