Reading Voluntary Action

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Spencers Wood Repair Cafe needs your skills.

One Sunday afternoon a month they open up the Repair Cafe and invite people to bring in items that they may be able to fix.

Of course, they are looking for volunteers that are skilled in fixing computers, phones, electrical items, furniture, bicycles, toys, or repairing clothes.

You can join in on a friendly, social environment where you can help transfer your skills and reduce landfill waste.

Together we can all try to fix items that might otherwise be thrown away.

The service is free, donations are welcome and will go to Spencers Wood Village Hall which is a registered charity.

The Thames Valley Partnership was formed in 1993, and their mission is to help, protect and support people who have had their lives damaged by crime equally and without judgement.

Right now, they are seeking more volunteers to join their Early Intervention Team which was built to support young people, to help them channel their energy and time in positive ways and to help prevent them from becoming involved in anti-social behaviour or crime.

Volunteers should be patient and great listeners that are able to converse with young people and work with them to identify and engage in opportunities that they will enjoy.

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

Enrych are looking for a friendly volunteer to help a member who has survived a Stroke.

The gentleman is looking for somebody to go out walking with him, for light exercise and to enjoy fresh air.

Keep in mind Enrych Berkshire helps a large number of members and, if you check their websites or contact them directly, there may be even more ways that volunteers could help.

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.
