Unlock your true potential and become a Volunteer today – it’s a great way to meet new people and make a lasting impact! Promise Inclusion, a local charity, is looking for volunteers @ The Acorn Club to assist in the provision of a weekly activity for adults aged 18+ with a range of learning difficulties, including those with profound and multiple learning difficulties, in a safe and stimulating environment at the Acorn Community Centre. Activities include; skittles, bingo, boccia, indoor putting and lots more! We meet on Tuesday evenings from 7pm-9pm at the Acorn Community Centre, in Woosehill, Wokingham.

Do you enjoy being outside and enjoying nature? Would you like to learn about conservation?

Would you like to exercise without joining a gym? Why not get involved with conservation work in our local woodland, Fox Hill woods on the edge of Woosehill? Friends of Fox Hill is a community group with the aim of encouraging our local community to enjoy the woods and learn to appreciate the trees, plants, and wildlife. Our Conservation Group meets one Sunday morning each month. Activities include removal of rhododendron, coppicing, ditch clearing, litter picking, path restoration, tree and bulb planting. Everyone is welcome. However children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Woodley and Lower Earley Libraries are looking for Digital Skills Volunteers to support residents with basic digital queries. Volunteers will be trained by our Digital Skills team to assist with queries such as; how do I use a computer, tablet, or mobile phone? How do you find and use information on the internet? How do I access and use email? How do you I communicate socially and professionally using email, messaging, and social media? We are looking for volunteers able to give two hours once a month, during a daytime weekday, at their chosen library site. WBC Libraries are amenable to scheduling sessions to suit volunteer availability. All volunteers are supported by both the libraries and digital skills teams. Please note all applicants must be twenty-one years of age and over to apply for this role.

For more information on these roles or any other volunteering needs, please contact the Volunteer Centre on 0118 977 0749 or email volunteer@wok-vol.org.uk. Please visit our website for our full list of volunteering roles www.volunteerwokinghamborough.org.uk
