Why Volunteer for Trust Links?
At Trust Links our Volunteers play a big part in the support we offer in our local communities.
Becoming a Trust Links volunteer can be extremely rewarding, helping you learn new skills and give something back.
From volunteering at our events to volunteering in our gardens, we have a role to suit anyone who can offer as little as 1 hour a week or 6 hours a month. We know that flexibility is key when it comes to volunteering and we have roles that can fit around any busy schedule!
What’s in it for me?
- We value our volunteers greatly and have a robust recruitment process in place to make the journey into volunteering as informative and clear as possible.
- We offer an informal chat and interview process, followed by an induction.
- Mandatory and role specific training to support you in your role.
- A named team leader will be available for ongoing support and training throughout your role.
- We get together to mark special occasions, and encourage our volunteer to try out new roles within the charity if they wish to gain more experience.
I really enjoy being an Events Volunteer because I get to work with a variety of people on different projects. I find that I am able to utilise my existing skills and experience and adapt them to suit the needs of the charity and/or the members. I enjoy how friendly people are and all the positivity around the fundraising and community based events. I look forward to each event that I am able to contribute to! – K: Events and Fundraising Volunteer 2024

Hear from a volunteer!
I enjoy helping people and in particular my role allows me to have a general chat with my Befriendee, hoping to increase social inclusion and interaction, reducing loneliness. I hope something simple like a regular phone call helps makes someone feel that they are important and improves self-esteem. I have got a lot out of the calls too and it has been interesting getting to know someone new – K: Talking Together Befriending Volunteer 2024
