How You Can Help - Volunteering

Doorway is holding an recruitment morning on Tuesday 4th March 2008 9.00am to 1.00pm for anyone interested in volunteering for the project.

There will be talks about what we do and the chance to ask questions before making any commitment to the project.

Doorway needs the following to join our friendly team:

°Befrienders
°Catering Assistants
°Cooks
°General Helpers

Befrienders who will sit and share a meal with guests, providing an opportunity for them to talk or join in activities. They also help guests to make phone calls and contact other specialist agencies for help and support.

Catering Assistants who are prepared to do a variety of tasks such as preparing and serving food, washing up, cleaning kitchen equipment and ensuring the smooth running of the kitchen.

Cooks who help plan, prepare and cook meals (breakfasts on Mondays and 2-course lunches on Thursdays) for about 40 people.

General Helpers who are prepared to do a variety of tasks i.e. making tea/coffee for guests, carrying out laundry duties, sorting clothing and food parcels for guests, and general tidying up after the sessions.

You will full receive training and support and we reimburse all expenses, such as travel to the centre and car parking. Free meals are also provided.

For many of our volunteers, most important is the chance to work with friendly, like-minded people who are making a real difference in the lives of some of our local community's most disadvantaged people
