Support in the process of enabling victims and perpetrators of crime to come together to collectively repair and find a positive way forward.

Approx. 3hrs per week

Activity Assistant.  We hold a regular Youth Club for any young carers who want to come, on alternate Wednesday evenings (5-7pm) for different age carers (one week primary school age, the following week secondary school age). 

If you're over 16 you can support our younger group and if you're 18+ you can support both groups.  You'll work in within our team of staff and other volunteers, preparing and taking part in activities (games, crafts, lego, computer games, sports etc). 

We also provide a filling meal so you might be on kitchen duty some weeks! You'll play alongside the children, making sure they have lots of fun, and also be a listening ear if they have any worries they want to talk about. 

Join our fun-loving team and we'll pay you for any travel or other expenses and you'll receive training and ongoing support.

YPF are looking for more young people aged between 11-19 years of age to join their group.  Looking for young people interested in having their say, getting young people heard in Telford, taking part in consultation, organise activities for young people in the area and enjoy meeting people from different areas of Telford.

Read Easy Telford and Shropshire East is affiliated to Read Easy UK, a national charity that helps adults learn to read and which has nearly 60 groups across England.

Read Easy Telford & Wrekin was established in 2019 and continues to grow to be a highly impactful local group with an increasing number of Reading Pairs (Reading Coach and Reader).

It is run by a hard-working, dedicated group of team members, all of whom are also volunteers.
The group is now seeking a new Referral Networker (Telford area).

This is a vital and interesting role within our Management Team to create and develop relationships with local agencies, such as Job Centres, social services and many others who may be able to refer potential readers to the group.

This voluntary position will suit people who thrive on networking and making new connections. The longevity of our local groups is down to securing a steady stream of Reader referrals, so you will play an instrumental part in making sure your group thrives.
