Volunteering at Women’s Community Matters

Volunteers are at the heart of our service here at Women’s Community Matters.  The day-to-day life of the centre would be impossible without their hard work and dedication.  Volunteers undertake a wide variety of roles including staffing reception, facilitating groups, offering one-to-one support, cleaning, managing the clothes bank, admin, gardening, sewing, fundraising – the list is endless!  We are currently looking to recruit volunteers to become part of the ever-growing team here at the centre and we hope you might be just the person we need!

 Are you interested in supporting women from the local area?  Do you hope to meet new people and give something back to your community?  Do you have particular strengths such as cooking, cleaning, computing or admin skills?  Or maybe you want to learn some new skills?  Are you hoping to build a career in support work or have you retired but feel compelled to continue giving?  Whatever you have to offer you have a place here with us!

To become a volunteer at Women’s Community Matters you simply fill in our short ‘Volunteer Registration Form’.  Once we receive your registration we will arrange for you to come and have a tour of the centre with one of our staff members.  If you decide the centre has something to offer you a 20-minute informal interview will be arranged at your convenience; this will be a chat about what you hope to offer the centre as well as what we can offer you!

 

Following this you will complete an induction and have the opportunity to shadow existing volunteers to learn how the centre works.  We also have on-going training available throughout the year around confidentiality, boundaries, safeguarding and listening skills, with potential for further training from other services. 

 

If you are interested in becoming part of our team at Women’s Community Matters please contact Katy, our Development Worker, for a ‘Volunteer Registration Form’:
