Citizens Advice Reading have been assisting local people with their problems since 1939. Their services are free, independent, confidential and impartial.
They are currently looking for a Volunteer Receptionist and Administrator. This role contributes to the organisation’s day-to-day delivery, making sure everything runs smoothly.
You’ll be welcoming people face to face and either directing them to their pre-booked appointment or helping them to arrange an appointment with an appropriate adviser.
They want a volunteer that can commit to two half-day sessions per week for a minimum of 12 months.
They ask for a long commitment because they offer comprehensive training. It is very rewarding and some of their volunteers have been with them for more than 20 years.
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.
