Ethical Reading exists to help organisations in Reading and their teams do the right thing by each other, the wider community and the environment and to thrive in the process.

They are a fast growing social enterprise and need robust, agile software systems to support the work that they do.

So they are seeking IT specialist volunteers that have a range of previous experience from help desk support, administration or code development.

There will be volunteer inductions, coaching, regular meetings with the lead Director and training to work with Ethical Reading’s systems.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Oxfam and currently they are seeking more volunteers for their charity shops in Reading.

They are currently looking for more volunteers to join their various shops around Reading as Sales/Tills assistants. Tasks include: Assisting with stocking and restocking, keeping the stores tidy and operating the tills.

Children’s wards at Royal Berkshire Hospital benefits from new fishtank thanks to Give Back FC

Right now the role is available for three locations: Reading Music on Duke Street, Oxfam Reading Book Shop on the High Street and The Caversham Oxfam Shop on Prospect Street.

Since 1942, Casualties Union is the charity whose volunteers spare time to train and practise casualty simulation.

Their aim is “To advance for the public benefit education and training in first aid, the treatment of illness, nursing, rescue, accident prevention, care in the community and similar activities, particularly through casualty simulation.”

They create the illusion of illnesses, faints from heart attacks, or injuries with makeup, in order for First Aiders and Emergency Services to practice responding to realistic-looking but safe situations.

They are currently looking for more members to join them as volunteers.

Ongoing Training Sessions are held in Reading, fortnightly, 8pm to 10pm.

Attending the training is optional and a full induction will be given.

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.
