Doorway is
holding an recruitment morning on Tuesday 21st October
2008 9am - 1pm 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.
The energy
and skills that our volunteers bring to the project are crucial
to our success, helping people move on in their lives and
we need the following to join our friendly team:-
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 an average of 40 to
50 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.
Volunteers
receive full 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.
To book a place
at our recruitment session, and to receive a volunteer information
pack please phone 01249 445385 or email info@doorwayproject.org.uk
