The type of tasks involved would suit young and older people, retired people, people with disabilities, people who want to work part-time, full-time, on short projects or long.

Transportation to and from this friendly, hardworking organisation is reimbursed, as is lunch up to the value of £3.00 per day. We promise to help you develop your skills as the tasks are varied and interesting.

Activities you can help with

  • Looking for administrative experience? You can volunteer to work on reception or help us stay organised - setting up and maintaining filing systems, small basic research projects, and a little typing.
  • Looking to get into marketing or fundraising? You can help us carry out mailings to our supporters and customers or conduct internet research into ways to publicise our services or people who might support us.
  • Familiar with basic accounting procedures? Studying accountancy or computing? You can help us produce invoices, perform credit control and keep our account ledgers up to date.
  • Looking for data entry experience? You can help us keep our database of equipment and useful contacts up-todate.
  • Are you a healthcare professional with experience in equipment? You can help us update our guidance notes and respond to email enquiries.
