Organisation Description: Supporting widows and widowers who are socially excluded due to their bereavement.
Description of role: We need volunteers to join us with our bag packing to support women who have experienced bereavement. This enables us to pay our regular creative workshop facilitator who supports widows with therapeutic sessions in the community, volunteers expenses for our home visit program, take widows out for a meal/day out, pampering sessions (spa), etc.
This is a chance for you to chat with customers while gaining skills in customer service and valuable volunteering experience, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting vulnerable people in our community is gratifying and also an excellent experience to put on your CV.
The session will be flexible. We are looking for 18 volunteers to cover this event. It will be great to have help from students studying at university so you can help us raise much-needed funds to support the widows in our communities.
