VOLUNTEER
Time to spare?
Do you like making a difference? We need you - volunteers keep us going. This project would not exist without our team of dedicated volunteers. We offer a friendly, relaxed and supportive environment to our volunteers. The work we are involved in is varied, challenging, worthwhile and great fun. It is a great way to meet new friends, try new skills, or practice existing ones. We pay travel expenses for our volunteers.
Words used by our volunteers to describe their views of the project - "Rewarding", "Fun", "A privilege", "Potential".

Knowledge of the local area is also helpful for route planning. Full training will be given with regard to the workings of the project.
Van Assistants
Monday to Saturday
Whether you can volunteer during the working week, on Saturdays, or Monday and Tuesday evenings, we have the right opening for you. If you want to make a difference and you can lift, then being a volunteer van assistant is an ideal opportunity. You will be delivering furniture to client’s empty rooms and transforming them into homes. You will also pick up furniture from donors for re-use in the project, thus saving over-loading landfill sites. Training in manual lifting will be given and where appropriate, all van drivers are experienced in supervising volunteers with special needs.

Do you like putting furniture together and doing minor repairs? Then we have just the job for you.
