Volunteer For Us
Why volunteer for us?
Our volunteers bring a wealth of experience and skills to our organisation and are a vital part of the service we offer to clients. Volunteers are involved in all aspects of our organisation from providing support for IT skills, life skills, office administration, arts and crafts, reception duties, kitchen and cooking, mentoring, gardening and many more. It doesn’t matter what your skills and experiences are, we need you!
What's in it for you?
Volunteering is a great way to enhance your CV, develop your skills, meet new people and get to know your local community in the knowledge that you’re making a huge difference to some of society’s most vulnerable people.
A volunteer at our Southampton Day Centre says:
“After completing my PTLLS (teaching) course and still remaining unemployed I decided to offer my services as a volunteer. I attended a meeting at the Southampton Voluntary Service who said that Two Saints were looking for a volunteer Life Skills Tutor, so I asked them to put me forward for the position. I then attended an interview with the Volunteer Coordinator, and we agreed that I could have the position pending references and a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
Since I joined the Day Centre I’ve discovered that I’m enjoying the idea of imparting my skills and supporting the clients that use the Learning Centre with any problems that they may have. Friends have said that I appear to be a happier person since I started volunteering at Two Saints”.
