Volunteer With Us!
Are you someone who likes listening more than talking and who enjoys knocking information into shape? We seek a volunteer in the WCVS office to help us contact voluntary groups and charities, talk with people who have become volunteers and help us keep on top of our database and network events. We are a small friendly team (some tea addictions but nothing serious) and we seek your help one or two mornings a week. You will be someone who is well organised, can use a computer and is good chatting to people on the phone. more
