This front of house facility manages the day to day communications and administration needs. Reception has several volunteers who answer the telephone, take messages and bookings, interface with the public, sort daily mail and support senior staff. Volunteers have always found reception a popular place and many have gained confidence and skills that have helped them get back into work. 

We deliver hot nutritious meals each day to the housebound who would otherwise be without a substantial meal.

The Refurb project will accept donated furniture that can be refurbished or reupholstered before selling through the restore shops. Due to the project, furniture can now be stripped down, repainted, recovered and even made fire retardant before being sold through the restore shops. 

You could be part of the team who refurbish furniture and bicycles before selling them on through the restore shops. There are a variety of tasks involved in the stripping down of bikes – carrying out safety checks, replacing parts or if you are handy with sanding down furniture, stripping suites back to their base, recovering suites, painting or sanding wood items – whatever your skill is, we can use it! 

 

All posts would require a 4 hours per week commitment as a minimum - Monday to Friday. Volunteers should be friendly and helpful with good communication and basic numeracy skills.
