Volunteering
People often think that they can only volunteer for roles where they have exisiting experience, but this is not the case as we also provide any training and support you require. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to try something new. Part time, daytime, weekdays or weekends, volunteering could easily fit into your life and there is no standard commitment in terms of hours. Prospective volunteers are offered an informal appointment at our Havelock Street branch which gives you the chance to have a look around and see the work we do and how you would like to get involved.
If you are interested in any of the following opportunities or would like more information on volunteering for Wellingborough Mind please contact Oliver on 01933 223591
Receptionist (Flexible)
Are you good with the public? Our newly built reception area needs your help. General reception duties will include meeting and greeting visitors, awnsering the telephone and light administrative tasks.
Kitchen Helper (Flexible)
We need enhusiastic people to help the running of our new kitchen, from the baking of cakes to the serving of hot drinks during our coffee mornings and drop in sessions. The kitchen is also a way of raising vital funds for Wellingborough Mind.
Handicraft Helper (Wednesdays 1.30 – 3.30)
Learning and teaching is all part of the handicrafts group, knitting, sewing, crochet, anything goes as the afternoon is filled with the click of knitting needles, and the planning of the next craft sale.
We are currently running Christmas Craft projects until the end of the year
Cleaner (Flexible)
Working within our cleaning team is an essential role and as we work with the general public it is important for us to have a well presented building.
Gardener (Flexible)
Working on our allotment is rewarding and fun! We have our own plot at the Breezehill Allotment Association and there is always something to do, and when the weathers not so good a trip to the local garden centre usually brightens the day. We also plan visits to local open garden shows.
