Volunteer Recruitment Fair Wednesday March 23rd 2022 at the new Charity & Community Hub!
The Wokingham Volunteer Centre has recently moved into the new Charity & Community Hub based in Waterford House at Erftstadt Court, Denmark Street in Wokingham Town Centre. The facility brings together many organisations under one roof to provide high-quality support, information and advice to people who need it.
These charities rely on their amazing volunteers to help deliver this support and without them, they could not continue. To help these organisations to find more volunteers, the Wokingham Volunteer Centre will be hosting a Volunteer Recruitment Fair on Wednesday 23rd March at the hub from 11am-2pm. The event will be free to the general public and no booking is required, please just drop in!
Volunteering can help you gain new skills, meet new people, test the water for a career change, allow you to give something back and help a cause you really believe in. Volunteering can be very flexible and fit around other commitments. Some roles are regular, others more ad hoc – there really is something for everyone!
The organisations attending include;
Link Visiting scheme (providing befrienders for elderly people who have become isolated);
Homestart (providing friendly, non-judgemental support to families);
ABC to Read (providing trained volunteers to local schools to read with school children);
CLASP (a user-led learning disability charity);
Citizens Advice Wokingham (providing independent support and advice to those who need it);
First Days (providing support to families with very young children);
Promise Inclusion (supporting children and adults with learning disabilities);
Involve (who run several projects, including social prescribing);
Wokingham Transport Scheme (providing volunteers for transport for medical appointments);
Green ‘n’ Tidy Gardening Scheme (providing volunteer gardeners for those who are elderly and vulnerable.)
