Graft Thames Valley is a charity that supports people from disadvantaged backgrounds and with disabilities or other complex needs into employment, training and other work-related activities.
Right now they are looking for a number of friendly volunteers to assist at their Reading Job Club, which helps unemployed people looking for work.
The role includes: Helping clients apply for work on online job sites, working on CVs and Cover Letters for applications, helping clients with interviews through preparation and practice, giving IT skills support to prepare for work and more!
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.
Currently they want a volunteer to take care of their small garden that their members enjoy to sit in and also help do a bit of gardening.
This would suit anyone enthusiastic about gardening and being outdoors. The main goal is to have a volunteer maintain the garden and assist their members. This would mainly take place during their Social Club sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays, 10am to 1pm.
Tilehurst Parish Council offers a wide range of services to improve the quality of life for their residents, such as their new youth clubs they are establishing.
They are looking for volunteers to help in setting up and running a new Art Club, initially on Tuesday evenings 7pm-8.30pm (volunteers required 6.30pm-9pm).
The Art Club is aimed towards children.
They anticipate the Art Club would allow young people to enrol for six to eight weeks and, if it is successful, it would be repeated.
This is an exciting opportunity to help set up something from scratch and make it work, and volunteers will be supported by the Tilehurst Parish Council itself and their partners Berkshire Youth.
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.
