General roles / helping hands volunteers

Do you have a skill you want to share? We can almost certainly find a role for you.

Roles are always changing depending on what’s going on in the charity.

But it’s pretty much a case of, if you have a skill you want to share, then we could almost certainly find a role for you.

Currently we are looking for

Community fundraisers

Hosting or supporting others to put on activities or events in the local community e.g Local pubs, scouts/guideing groups, book clubs, schools

Collection tin distributor in your area

Placement and collection of tins in local shops and businesses

‘eBayer’ 

We regularly have donations of children’s clothing or equipment which is very helpful for our families when they need things, but we have items donated that we aren’t able to pass on and can’t store as we don’t have the space.

With an eBay volunteer, we could accept more donations and raise money from items not needed by our families.

You’d be required to post items on the Home-Start account and follow up with dispatch of the items and queries.

Could be done from home and would require a few hours monthly but can be flexible.

Story tellers   

Are you a budding author or journalist with a bit of spare time?

We are looking for a writer to join our team to help us create a library of stories. There are so many amazing examples not only of how our families have come through their struggles, but also the amazing journey that the family mentor takes whilst supporting the family.

We’re looking for someone who can confidently interview families, mentors and our supporters to capture their stories in a way that is engaging, succinct and inspiring to the reader.

Stories will be used across our communications and will feature in print, on our digital platforms including social media.
