Enrych Berkshire is a registered charity that provides support to people with a disability, helping them get access to leisure, social and learning activities.
Currently they have a member who would appreciate somebody to help her in her garden.
She is limited to how much she can do, so having a volunteer that can do some of the more physical tasks would be incredibly useful.
Someone that is friendly and happy to chat would be brilliant to help with building her confidence.
In the future, as confidence builds, she would like the idea of somebody assisting her to go out to enjoy the fresh air in her wheelchair.
Shift Youth and Community (SYC) is a small Christian charity that works primarily in South Reading.
They base themselves in local communities and work with churches, schools and other agencies to provide the best opportunities for young people and communities to find their purpose and their voice.
All of their staff are volunteers and they are looking for another volunteer to join the team as an administrator, for 6-8 hours per week.
The role will include event management, policy development, human resources including record keeping, immigration record keeping and recruitment.
The role will require the person to be a self-starter who can maintain and manage the tasks with minimal oversight.
Induction and training will be given, as will regular supervision.
