Volunteering – Always Available
A great way to gain experience and do something valuable
We are constantly on the look-out for Trustees, Fund Raisers, Support Workers, Admin Workers, Befreinders, and more
SoLO would not be able to operate without its brilliant band of volunteers. Also, as a volunteer within SoLO we expect you to be introduced to all aspects of the projects and to be supported whilst working for us.
We provide free training to all our volunteers, to build up their skills and help them to be more prepared for the work that they do (see our training page for more information).
Our volunteers are simply amazing and go far and beyond what we expect from them to benefit our members.
- Emma is cycling in Vietnam and Cambodia this year to raise money for SoLO and Oxfam (If you want to support her click on www.justgiving.com.)
- Anita and Cookie went round the pubs in Shirley selling mega amounts of raffle tickets for our Grand Prize Draw.
- Paul arrived at the Love is Disco in an amazing costume which made everyone’s day!
- Emmi ran a ‘guess the weight of my baby’ competition and raised over £300 – and also had a gorgeous baby!
- Tony turns up regularly to provide us with wonderful photos.
- Charles and David have spent hours developing our website.
- Roger has given a massive amount of time to help us survive our audit.
Supported volunteers
As a charity committed to giving young people with learning disabilities a more fulfilling life, we also have supported volunteers on our projects and in the office. This responsibility gives the supported volunteers a significant boost to their self-esteem. Currently we have Tom on North Arts, Tracy on Open Door, Daniel on Teen Open Door and Alison in our office helping us once a week.
Most importantly, of course, all of our wonderful volunteers are week in, week out supporting our members to enjoy a social life which makes a difference to their lives.
All out volunteers are reference checked and have a full Criminal Records Bureau check before they start volunteering with us.
