Summary
You can play an important role in providing people with wheelchairs and other equipment to help them get moving again after illness or injury.Detailed description
The British Red Cross is the UK part of body of the worldwide neutral and impartial humanitarian network, with over 17,000 volunteers in the UK alone.
If you like practical things like servicing and cleaning equipment, this is the role for you. You’ll make our wheelchairs clean and safe for people to get moving again after illness or injury.
Ideally you will live within 10 miles of the British Red Cross office in Norwich (NR6 5HD).
We would like you to;
Commit on a regular weekly basis. Volunteer to cover one shift each week - shifts available: Mondays to Thursdays 10am - 1pm & 1pm to 4pm. Fridays 10am - 1pm. Can commit to volunteering for a minimum of 12 months.
The role will involve some manual handling and moving of mobility aids equipment.
Diversity is something Red Cross celebrates and they want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong.
They want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space they have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, there are options available. Red Cross welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer and want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.
At the moment they can’t always host 15 – 17 year olds, but do get in touch so we can tell you what you might be able to do near you.
