Wokingham in Need (WIN) is dedicated to providing support for the homeless and most vulnerable in our community.

We are seeking an Events Fundraiser to join the team. We do not have our own office space so the volunteer would need to be happy to work from home but will be supported by the Trustees and other volunteer members.

All necessary expenses for this role will be paid. We are looking for an enthusiastic organised team player with lots of ideas who ideally has experience in event planning but not essential.

At the moment, the Charity hosts one larger event annually and organises stalls at local events to raise awareness of the Charity’s work and raise valuable funds.

Time commitment would be approximately 3 hours approximately a week, maybe more coming up to an event and post-event.

The role does require a DBS check and will report through to the Founder and Trustee.

Cianna’s Smile offers support and education to families affected by Sickle Cell Anaemia in the UK.

Our goals are to decrease isolation for those living with Sickle Cell, support families, and raise awareness of Sickle Cell in the UK.

They have recently opened new offices in Wokingham Town Centre.

This move and expansion means they are looking to take on more volunteers. These include a Social Media Coordinator, a Fundraiser, a Treasurer, an Administrator and a Volunteer Coordinator.

This is great opportunity to dive into a variety of tasks and to help a great cause without having to commit to a regular day and time each week.

If any of these roles appeal to you, please get in touch.

Canine Partners is a registered charity that transforms the lives of people with disabilities by partnering them with assistance dogs. Our amazing dogs bring a greater independence and quality of life to their partners, offering support, security, companionship, and practical help with everyday household tasks.

Canine Partners are looking for caring family homes in Berkshire to raise, socialise and train puppies and young dogs up to the age of 18 months old within 45 minutes’ of RG12 (Bracknell) post code.

We consider this a full-time volunteer role as the puppy / dog will live with you from 8 weeks old until it is ready to progress into advanced training.

This is between 14 to 18 months old.

Your role will involve; receiving home visits, virtual online training, one-to-ones, regular group puppy training classes and regular visits within your local community to various environments to expose the puppy to the following conditions in order to socialise them: busy town environments, car travel, public transport, children, cats, other dogs (different breeds), and other domestic animals.

The primary puppy volunteer must be 18 years or over and have all the necessary time, commitment and suitable set up at home necessary for this commitment.

For more information, please do get in touch.
