Volunteer

Our volunteers are central to all we do at The Orrell Trust. If you are looking to give a few hours each week to support an organisation that is working to improve the local community, please get in touch.

We have opportunities to suit almost everybody with roles across our work with older people; children and families; and young adults with additional needs.

Other roles are in the background but are no less important. These include supporting our work with catering, admin, or as a trustee.

Interested? Contact us or pop into the office for a chat.

Squashie Play: We are looking for volunteers to support our weekly play session for under-5s.

Squashie Play takes place on a Monday between 9.30 -11.30am. and is a popular, well respected, and much-loved play provision for the local community. It provides local children with the opportunity to explore, grow their imagination, develop social skills, and have fun in a safe and welcoming environment. Parents and carers receive vital and valuable peer support and a key opportunity to gather socially in a safe, welcoming, and friendly environment where they can be signposted to other local support.

Our volunteers support the smooth running and success of the play sessions in a variety of ways including providing a warm welcome, helping with set-up and clear away, encouraging parents and children to take part in the activities, and much more.
