Charity:

Supported Community Business (SCB)

Location:

Adjacent Unit 41, Quakers Coppice, Crewe CW1 6FA

Job Type:

Voluntary

Hours:

Flexible - to suit volunteer

Description

SCB volunteers support adults with additional support needs in our Crewe workshop. We'll train you to guide simple, real work-style tasks--labelling, light assembly, packaging, stock-sorting--and to model clear, step-by-step instructions. The goal: build confidence, routine and employability skills while helping real customer orders get finished.

We're also looking for volunteers in other areas vital to our small charity, including:

Fundraising helpers

- supporting events, raffles, and campaigns.

Community collection volunteers

- placing and collecting donation tins in local shops and venues.

Charity admin and finance support

- helping with office tasks, filing, data entry, or bookkeeping.

Practical support

- maintenance, IT, or offering a specific skill (woodwork, craft, CV/time-keeping tips).
A regular 2-4 hour slot on a weekday (Mon-Thu 9:00-16:00, Fri 9:00-14:00) works well, but occasional sessions are also welcome.

The impact you'll have

You'll help people build confidence, routine and employability skills, reduce isolation, and enable us to take on more meaningful work and community orders. Your support in fundraising, admin, or collections will directly boost our sustainability and reach in the community.

The skills you'll need

Kind, patient and reliable; good with people. No specific experience required--training, induction and supervision are provided. Great fit for 18+ students seeking work experience, retirees wanting to give back, and anyone with a practical or organisational skill to share.

DBS check provided by SCB; references available for uni/job applications if helpful.
