Hub Volunteers

There are many diverse opportunities available within Community Meeting Point activity and resource hub.

Activity facilitator volunteers

Do you have a few hours a week and skills that you could share with our members? If so then perhaps you could facilitate one of our structured activity groups. We run activities in a range of different subjects depending on the needs of members. If you feel you have something to offer please contact us today.

One to One Community Engagement support volunteers

Could you spend a few hours a week working on a one-to-one basis with members? Often our members have lost contact with friends or family, as well as experiencing a loss of confidence in social situations. Our one to one volunteers aim to support members to re-build their confidence by providing a vital listening ear and encouraging members to get out and about to rediscover old interests or learn new ones. The role of a one to one volunteer can be diverse and rewarding. Full training is provided.

Shop Volunteers

We have a range of volunteering opportunities available in our charity shop. We have listed these below:

Stockroom Volunteers

Have you got an eye for fashion? Support us to sort clothing, shoes and bric-a-brac into items we can either sell or recycle. Preparation of stock for resale includes steaming, hanging, sizing, ticketing and pricing.

Admin Assistant

Do you have numeracy skills and a good attention to detail? A successful shop will mean that we need to keep on top of our administration. This will include things like daily cash paperwork, stock taking records, sales figures, arranging house collections and much more.

Window Dresser

Do you have creative and artistic approach to design? The Window Dresser will be responsible for the design and dressing of periodic window displays, as well as having a creative input into the overall presentation of the shop.

Shop Assistant

Are you reliable and trustworthy with excellent interpersonal skills? If you like meeting new people and providing a great service, join our team of assistants who are responsible for duties including handling cash, customer service, stock rotation and overseeing the shop presentation.

Driver

Do you have a clean driving license, an ability to work alone or as part of a team and a courteous manner? We are seeking willing volunteers to arrange collections from people’s houses and to dispose of those items we are unable to sell.

Assistant Manager

Were you born to lead? In this role you will support the Centre Manager to provide support to volunteers and service users, have a responsibility for the overall performance of the shop, work to maximize sales and ensure high standards of presentation and customer service

Whatever volunteering role you choose you will be part of a team dedicated to supporting local people whose lives have been affected by mental illness.
