Volunteer Telford

We offer support, information, and friendship to people living with Parkinson's, their families, and carers. Support group meetings held on the last Tuesday of every month 1-3 pm. (except Aug) at Hadley Community Centre 30 High Street Hadley Telford TF1 5NL, Telford, TF1 5NL.

We are working, side by side, to improve the lives of everyone affected by Parkinson’s. Pioneering: We innovate across everything we do. Creative, courageous and with pioneering spirit, we strive to continually improve. Driven:

We live and breathe our purpose. We set clear goals and strive to deliver the greatest impact for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.

Tasks

We require a volunteer to assist with the management reordering and collation of the literature which is produced by Parkinson's UK and also the marketing material such as sweatshirts badges etc which they produce and these would need to be displayed each month at the monthly meetings and also promoted and items sold at outside events to help promote the group. 

AFC Telford is looking to recruit more volunteers to help on match days at the Telford Ground.

Would you like to be part of a friendly team of volunteers, and can you spare a few hours on Saturdays and sometimes during the week, for home games only?

Not every game requires a full turnstile crew and there are occasions when we need people to cover illness etc. for our regular staff; if you can’t commit to every game don’t worry, once we have a full team, others can cover you once in a while so we can be flexible.

Are you the right person for the role?

AFC Turnstile Operators

The role is very simple – you are based in the turnstiles, provided with a scanner on a mobile phone, and all we ask is that you use the camera function (which is linked to the relevant ticket checking software) to check tickets as fans arrive – it is that easy!

You would be required from 13.30 to 15.15 on Saturdays and 18.15 to 20.00 for mid-week games when we play at home.

The bonus is that if you wish to stay and enjoy the game when your turnstile closes, you get free entry - or if you prefer to go home that is fine too.

Are you qualified, knowledgeable or experienced on a particular topic? Would you be willing to share your expertise with our staff or customers?

Topics might include mental health, substance misuse, anxiety, first aid, professional boundaries etc.

If you could run a session or workshop on any of the above topics or perhaps a different topic that you feel might be of benefit then please get in touch.

Get Involved in Adult Social Care

Are you an expert with lived experience of Adult Social Care?

We are looking for volunteers who currently or have in the past accessed Adult Social Care, care and support services to work with us. To ensure that those who have lived experience (experts by experience) are heard, valued, and can inform, question, and challenge our developments and practice. 

We are looking for volunteers to join our various boards, get involved in projects and pieces of time-limited co-production activity.

This may include:

- Providing feedback or sharing experiences with decision makers

- Reviewing policies and procedures

- Assisting in recruitment processes

- Networking in a positive way with other people who have an interest or access adult social care

- Commissioning and contracting activities – involvement in commissioning new or reviewing existing services
