VOLUNTEER AT THE PLACE IN SETTLE

We are always on the lookout for volunteers to assist in the day to day operation of The Place in Settle.

 

Volunteering is a great way to contribute to the local community, gain experience, and make a difference to other people's lives. 

​

No skills are required (although, if you have a particular skill that we could put to use, then please let us know) and time commitment can be as much or little as you like.

​

Volunteering opportunities might include:

​

  • administrative tasks associated with running the charity

  • assisting during activities or events

  • meeting and greeting -  i.e. being a friendly face to welcome visitors and help with signposting to services

  • marketing activities

 

If you have an idea or would like to discuss opportunities with us, please get in touch or call in to see us for a chat!

Current Volunteer Roles at The Place

​

These profiles are a general guide to the roles our volunteers may undertake, however there is great flexibility within each role and they can be adapted to suit each individual’s interest, experience, skills and knowledge.

Wellbeing Cafe Volunteer

 

This role is to provide support in our Wellbeing Cafe. That might include setting up the room, providing a warm welcome to participants, preparing simple refreshments,  chatting or offering a listening ear and maybe joining in with the activities.

Allotment Volunteer

 

The Place has its own community allotment and volunteers with an interest in horticulture/growing are always needed to help plan, develop and maintain it. There is the potential for volunteers to have their own smaller plot for growing their own produce.

Welcomer 

 

This vital role provides an initial, friendly welcome for anyone visiting or calling The Place. You would greet visitors, answer simple queries and provide information on activities and local organisations. You may answer the phone, take messages, help to open up rooms for hirers or undertake office administration jobs such as printing or laminating.

Digital Buddy Volunteer

​​

We are looking to support the community with Digital Inclusion, we know there is a need in our rural community to enable people to become better connected. If you have a basic knowledge of computers and other tech and use the internet regularly we would love your help to support people who don't have much digital ability.
