Volunteer Telford

Deliver food/meals to luncheon clubs and residents in their own homes.

Whatever you bring to the table, however often you can help, volunteering with Scouts can change young people's lives.

No previous experience with young people? No problem.

Whether you'd like to help out week-after-week or whenever-you-can, we provide training, learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.

We need help with planning programmes, youth leadership, administration, behind-the-scenes support, equipment & site maintenance, trusteeship & adult leadership, communications & publicity, and more.

With 13 Groups across Shropshire Severn and Teme Scout District alone, we'll always be able to find an opportunity near you!

Benefits of volunteering with Scouts:

- Learn valuable skills and experiences for the future
- Make friends and meet people
- Try new things and challenge yourself
- Improve your mental and physical wellbeing
- Get outdoors and get stuck in
- Positively impact your community
- Create vital opportunities for young people
- Make memories that'll last a lifetime

By becoming a Story Starter volunteer you will give a child in a local early years setting/nursery the skills to start primary school ready to read. You’ll open up their lives to the magic of stories and provide crucial language development in a way which is fun for both you and the child!

How does it work?

As a Story Starter you will support three children aged 3-5 years' old on a one-to-one basis, using play and stories to develop and enrich their use of language.

You’ll need to commit to volunteering at a local nursery for one hour, twice a week during nursery hours.

You’ll receive professional training and support to ensure that you are best able to support young children and feel comfortable in a modern nursery setting.
