Macmillan helps everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, by providing physical, financial and emotional support. Alongside millions of supporters, professionals, volunteers and campaigners, they give everything we’ve got to support people living with cancer.

Currently, they are seeking a Lead Volunteer.

This is a varied role, you’ll be: carrying out activities including leading initial home visits and risk assessments for Community Buddying, checking in with service users and volunteers are their first call or visits, and inputting and updating sensitive personal information on our data system.

They are looking for volunteers with clear communication skills who are confident to work independently and have the required skills to use their IT systems and resources that can offer 6 hours of their time weekly.

Enrych Berkshire is a Registered Charity that provides support to people with a disability, helping them get access to leisure, social and learning activities.

Right now Enrych wants a female volunteer to join them in order to help and encourage a female member to go out for short walks.

Needs support and confidence by linking arms with somebody and working on her walking and increasing distance and strength.

This role would suit somebody who can be positive and encourage to help minimise anxiety.

This is based in Calcot, starting with short walks building to maybe an hour of your time once a week.

Over the coming years Guide Dogs for the Blind Association are aiming to increase the number of guide dog partnerships, but they’re also developing a broader range of services that will help more people who are blind and partially sighted to get out and about on their own terms.

They are also seeking more people to join them as Guide Dogs Fundraisers. Volunteers will be assisting your local fundraising team in promoting and taking part in a variety of activities to raise money and awareness for Guide Dogs.

Tasks include: Helping on stalls at local events, taking Collection Boxes to local businesses, attending local events organised by the team and keeping track of what we sell on our stalls, counting donations and more.

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.
