ABOUT FEED THE CHILDREN
Feed The Children works internationally, specialising in providing emergency relief to communities in need. With offices in Twyford (near Reading) and Bristol, the charity collects and dispatches essential goods to countries such as Angola, Liberia, Uganda, and most recently, the Tsunami-hit area of south Asia.
Loaders
FEED THE CHILDREN
Occasionally – once a month or so - some extra help is needed for loading aid lorries, and we need a few of people we can call on. Loaders need to be physically fit, and capable of some heavy work.
Who might do this?
Big strong people who can spare an odd day occasionally. Lorries are packed at either Twyford, or Remenham (near Henley on Thames ).
Fund-raisers
FEED THE CHILDREN
Fund-raising isn't just holding a can outside a supermarket. Feed The Children volunteers run stalls at their local fair, sell raffle tickets, attend exhibitions, talk to school assemblies, give presentations to businesses, organise fun-runs, run charity concerts, sponsored swims… and sometimes hold cans outside supermarkets.
We have volunteer vacancies at our Twyford office.
Volunteers working with children will be required to complete a CRB check.
Who might do this?
People with time to spare, an outgoing personality and some organisational skills.
Office/admin
FEED THE CHILDREN
There are varied opportunities at Feed The Children's office in Twyford (near Reading ), to help our small team with the essential running and fundraising of the charity. Volunteers help with internet research, compiling data lists, preparing donations for banking, filing, telephone work, preparing mail-outs and stuffing envelopes.
Who might do this?
People with a day or half-day per week to spare, and have some office experience. We welcome people who are looking to update their computer skills, or wish to do voluntary work for a while before returning to paid employment.
