Volunteer Telford

Events Assistants Volunteering Role opportunities to help support with annual Lawley Christmas Fayre event taking place on Saturday 7th December 2024.

Event is organised in partnership with Lawley & Overdale Parish Council, Bournville Village Trust and Lawley Partnership Board.

A volunteer briefing, when necessary, will be held before the event, either on the day or via a virtual meeting. Otherwise, information will be passed on via your group leader prior to the event.

Could you spare the time to volunteer? Would you like to volunteer?  Would you like to help someone who is isolated become more active and involved in their community?

Could you accompany someone to a new activity? If the answer is YES, then you could be a 'Buddy' and we would really like to hear from you!

As a Buddy you could:

Help someone who feels isolated and alone to participate in local activities, make new friends and get more active.

Provide support that enables someone to take that crucial first step to take part in something new.

Offer encouragement and motivation to get someone involved in the local community, thereby reducing isolation and helping to boost their confidence and self-esteem.

Many of us would like to be more active but the idea of turning up at an activity such as an exercise class on our own can be very daunting.

We offer support, information, and friendship to people living with Parkinson's, their families, and carers. Support group meetings held on the last Tuesday of every month 1-3 pm. (except Aug) at Hadley Community Centre 30 High Street Hadley Telford TF1 5NL, Telford, TF1 5NL.
