Volunteering With Us

How can I help?

Would you like to help to run a stall, hand out leaflets, volunteer for a street collection, hold a coffee morning or organise your own sponsored event?  We are always ready to welcome enthusiastic volunteers to help with our fundraising. The more ideas the better! 

If you can give time to help in our shop or  help us in other ways with our fundraising we would really love to hear from you.  Every single donation of either time or money all contributes to making the Friarage the welcoming, supportive and positive place that it is!  
 
Even if you do not have experience, you are valuable to us and we can provide the necessary training. If you would like to volunteer at our events please complete the Events Volunteer Form below.

  • "I’ve worked at the Friarage shop for over a year with many different volunteers. I enjoy the contact with people, both customers and staff. Working as a cashier and being involved with stock replenishment, I love feeling I am making the shop a success and of benefit to visitors and staff as well as in-patients."
    Steve Forrest
  • "I work here because I love people, especially in the hospital shop where you are helping patients, visitors and the staff. It makes me feel good. Sometimes on a morning I feel a little low but when I come into the shop I feel great. It gives me a lift for the rest of the day."
