Hands Rochester Volunteer Centre recruits volunteers on behalf of charitable, voluntary and statutory bodies who have requested our assistance to find volunteers. We are currently seeking volunteers for Hands' Board of Trustees (see below for more information). To see some of the opportunities available please go to the National Volunteering Database at www.do-it.org.uk
If you are not sure what you would like to do you may prefer to contact us for further information.
In addition to recruiting volunteers for other organisations we have some directly managed services all of which require volunteer helpers.
The following schemes are always in need of volunteers:
- Transport Scheme - drivers with a clean licence and own car to provide transport to hospital and other medical appointments for elderly and less able people.
- Befriending/Visiting Scheme - visitors for elderly and less able people on a regular basis to provide contact and support.
- Office Helpers - computer literate volunteers often required to assist with the organisation and data input of our schemes and to answer incoming telephone enquiries.
