Volunteering opportunities

📣 Make a real difference in your community! 

We couldn't help the people we do, without the immense contribution of our volunteer team.

We're looking for passionate volunteers to join our Community Help & Information Points (CHIPs) team! 📣

Are you a great listener with a knack for helping others? Our CHIPs are the friendly faces (and voices!) that connect people with the information and support they need, right when they need it.

As a CHIP volunteer, you'll be:

• Guiding people to self-help resources online or over the phone.

• Helping individuals understand their options on everything from benefits to housing.

• Making vital referrals for those who need expert, face-to-face advice.

• Contributing to our fundraising and recruitment efforts!

What's in it for YOU?

🌟 Develop valuable communication, listening, and analytical skills. 

🌟 Learn about a range of crucial issues (debt, employment, housing – you name it!).

🌟 Boost your employability and work with diverse people.

🌟 Have a genuinely positive impact on people's lives!

No specific qualifications needed, just a friendly, non-judgmental approach and a willingness to learn. We ask for 2-10 hours a week for at least 6 months, and we're super flexible! Expenses are reimbursed too.

We celebrate diversity and welcome applications from all backgrounds, including disabled people, those with mental or physical health conditions, LGBT+ and non-binary individuals, and people from Minority Ethnic communities. Lived experience is highly valued!

Whether client-facing or in a support role, we need a huge variety of skills and everybody has something to give.
