The Basingstoke Talkking News service is run entirely by dedicated volunteers and we need many more volunteers to ensure that we can not only maintain our level of service, but add to it too. There are many opportunities for volunteering and we support all our volunteers in the different roles they fulfil with training days and with social gatherings. Everyone has a skill they can bring to The Basingstoke Talking News service.
Many people wonder what they could bring to a charity – but you would be surprised at the varying roles we need to fulfil to keep our vital work going.
Here some of the roles that you might be interested in helping us with:
News reader,
Fundraiser,
Collection helper.
Volunteering can prove to be a very satisfying and positive experience, helping you to develop new skills and gain confidence. It can also be a great asset to your CV and provide you with a unique experience to discuss at an interview. Employers are always impressed to see prospective employees actively involved in the world around them and evidence of volunteer work can be valuable when applying for university or further studies, as well as careers in health care, emergency services, local government or social services.
If you can spare an hour a week to help us to continue our vital service, then please contact us.
