Everybody has different skills and gifts, and we recognise that nobody is good at everything or confident in everything. We will never pressure you to do things you do not want to do. With this in mind, the key responsibilities will vary from person to person, but here are a few ideas. Promoting TWAM via free local websites and papers, volunteer fairs and community events through talks to churches, church groups and local community groups. You can place leaflets (with permission) in local libraries and doctors'/dentists' waiting rooms. You will be able to manage and support volunteers through regular communication, organising team meetings to create a sense of belonging and value, making sure everyone has up-to-date leaflets and ensuring everyone receives the volunteer e-news every month. You will be able to speak to potential new volunteers in your area before Ipswich approves them and will be willing to visit or contact new collectors to build friendships and support.
You will work closely with the Volunteering Coordinator, and they will agree to a regular pattern of contact with you. You will receive resources from us, including a Volunteer speaker pack (updated bi-annually), a selection of leaflets, details of all your local volunteers, details of local supporting churches and groups and expenses guidelines and reimbursement. You will also receive equipment such as a projector and screen, pull-up banners, Business cards and ID Card.
