Description

Kingswells Toddlers Group is a fun place for children from baby to pre-school age to come and play, and a safe place for parents and carers to socialise and play with their children.

Through the Centre, the children have access to a range of indoor equipment from climbing and slide structures to soft play and everyday toys, we are also in the process of setting up and outdoor area for the children to play.

The group is usually set up and tidied by parents, but we are looking for volunteers to come in to the Centre on a Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9am-11.30am and set out all the toys, engage with the children and parents and organise a few small activities with the children like messy play, story telling or basic crafts, then tidy up again at the end of the group.

This would be a great opportunity for someone who is enthusiastic about working with smaller children and is sociable with adults.

The Community Centre would provide a PVG check and Introduction to Child Protection course.

A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference in the community. For more details please contact Nicole Farquharson, Centre Manager at email: info@kccwp.co.uk or telephone: 01224 741806

Retail Stock Room Volunteer

British Heart Foundation (Kelso Charity Shop)

If you’re a keen rummager and like things to be neat and tidy, then we have a role for you - helping in our retail stock room to sort the fantastic donations we receive behind the scenes. If you love a bit of ironing, then master the steamer and watch those wrinkles disappear (it’s surprisingly therapeutic!) or become a tagging extraordinaire, allowing customers to understand what item they are purchasing. Whether you’re a lover of vintage clothing, films, books, vinyl records or stunning jewellery – or perhaps you just fancy the company of other friendly volunteers away from the shop floor whilst making a difference - our retail stock room role is the place to be behind the scenes. Typical tasks include: · Sorting out donated items and preparing them for sale · Using a clothes steamer and tagging price labels on to clothing items · Identifying unsaleable donations for recycling · Keeping the sort room organised and tidy · Looking after a certain department based on your interests alongside paid staff · Acting as an ambassador for the British Heart Foundation

Volunteer Stock Collection Driver

British Heart Foundation (Kelso Charity Shop)

Are you happy to volunteer using your own vehicle? Do you have a few hours a week to spare and enjoy meeting people? If you’re an active person looking for a flexible volunteer driver role then come and join our friendly team. Without Volunteer Stock Collection Drivers we can’t collect our generous donors’ items, and our shops won’t be able to beat heartbreak forever. We need help now more than ever to collect donated items from our supporters when they are unable to bring them into our shop themselves. You will need to be physically fit and active for this driver role due to the lifting and carrying of donation bags in and out of the vehicle. It will be your responsibility to ensure that you have a full, valid driving licence and that your vehicle is correctly insured for carrying out collections of BHF donations – don’t worry, we can help you with this. You’ll use your own vehicle and travel will be reimbursed at the HMRC rate (currently 45p per mile).
