The Way Ministry Reading is a Christian organisation that supports people who are homeless, vulnerable or at risk of becoming homeless, and those that need help to get back on their feet. They care for all people regardless of their religious beliefs, gender, sexuality or race.

They are currently looking for volunteers for their Night Shelter. There are a handful of different roles to take on. During the evening sessions volunteers help with hosting the homeless guests. Making hot drinks, organising bedding and towels, serving a hot meal, socialising with the guests, playing board games, and more.

During the morning sessions simple breakfast is made, the guests are given their bags back, and the shelter is left tidy and ready for the next evening session.

No experience is necessary, just a heart to help and serve with compassion.

Reading Community Learning Centre is a charity that helps ethnic minority women and their families who live in Reading. They are based in Central Reading, the RCLC has been operating as an independent charity since 2007, and as part of the national charity, Workers’ Education Association, since the mid-1990s.

They are currently looking to recruit a new female Chair to lead their Board of Trustees. The role of the Chair is to lead meetings with the Trustee Board and act as a spokesperson for the charity where needed.

The Chair also provides support to the Centre Manager and acts as a channel of support and communication between the Board and members of staff.

As this is a key role in the organisation they are seeking someone with great communication skills and leadership abilities including motivational skills and being able to work effectively as a member of a team.
