Aspire2’s mission is to empower children and families to access non-formal learning and enrichment activities that will enable them to gain skills to improve their engagement with their local community and their future.

Right now Aspire2 are seeking someone to join their Board of Trustees and help provide enrichment and extracurricular activities for disadvantaged children in Reading.

They are particularly interested in hearing from those with charity experience or professional skills in Fundraising, Digital or Marketing!

Reading Blind Aid Society was formed in 1883 and then changed to Reading Association for the Blind in 1926 and has supported the sight impaired people of Reading ever since.

They currently need helpers at their Social Club. They have arts and crafts activities where volunteers help members participate. This would be a perfect opportunity for caring volunteers that happen to be creative.

These Social Clubs are held at Walford Hall and provide a safe, much-needed social environment for their members.

Enrych Berkshire is an organisation that provides people with disabilities extra support to help them to enjoy hobbies, interests and activities of their choosing.

They currently want to recruit a friendly volunteer to help a gentleman in their 40s get out and about more.

The Enrych Member has survived a Stroke. Having somebody to go out walking with them would be incredibly helpful as that exercise is an important part of their rehabilitation.

Take a look at our brand new Reading Volunteer Connect platform for details of these and many more opportunities to volunteer via our website, www.rgneeds.me. Want to get in touch? Drop us an email at volunteering@rva.org.uk or call 0118 937 2273.
