The Me2 Club is an inclusion charity for children and young people with additional needs and disabilities in the Wokingham and Reading boroughs.

Right now they are recruiting volunteers to support teenagers and young people with additional needs in Reading. You will be working as part of a team with other volunteers and Me2 Club staff supporting their teen group, SEND youth forum and youth social action group.

The groups run in the evenings for two hours – either 5pm to 7pm or 5.30pm to 7.30pm – in Woodley or Wokingham.

The role is flexible; you can work as much or as little as you like.

Formed in 2002 The Children’s Air Ambulance is a lifesaving transfer service for critically ill babies and children.

They need your help to raise awareness and increase income for The Air Ambulance Service by having more people taking part in their planned bucket collections, and also help them with regular local collections.

Volunteers play a crucial role in helping people recover from homelessness and the experience, skills and knowledge they bring make a real difference to the lives of people they work with.

They are currently looking for more First Response Volunteers to join them in the Reading area. Volunteers will be: Working with a partner volunteer to locate referrals and identify those who are rough sleeping, passing information about referrals to the Outreach team to follow up on and more.
