The Clifton Community Arts Centre Ltd was set up in 2013 with the initial intention of redeveloping the Clifton Cinema into an Arts and Community centre for Wellington. Unfortunately, the group were unable to buy or lease the Clifton, but we will soon sign a lease for 1 Station Road, Wellington. We are looking for volunteers to help redevelop then operate it as an 80-seat cinema and café bar with additional rooms to let out to the community. Currently we have a number of interested parties for the rooms – dance classes, art gallery, circus skills workshop, meeting rooms to name a few.

This project is for the people of Wellington and the wider Telford community, owned by members and managed on their behalf by a board of directors.

We would love to hear from you if you are able to volunteer.
If you are not sure how you can help there will certainly be something you can do to assist us!

The Friends are all about promoting, conserving and protecting Telford Town Park. We enjoy the support of not only Telford & Wrekin Council Parks Department but the Southwater Event Group and also lots of local Town and Parish Councils in our borough. The Town Park is a very important space for Telford, not only for leisure activities but to assist in the renewing and cleaning of the very air we breathe. We have also started a new scheme called ‘Friends 4 Health’ by which people recovering from illness or perhaps with some mobility issues can be referred by one of several different health agencies, both Council and NHS, to spend some time with the Friends in order to assist in their recovery. With this in mind we have a range of special tools available.

A growing number of people are housebound, isolated and lonely, or at risk of becoming so. 
Bird feeding can provide great pleasure to those who are housebound and a weekly visit by a bird feeding friend can offer valuable regular social contact.
Volunteers are matched with someone in the community (preferably nearby in adjacent streets) who is isolated or at risk of becoming so, with the aim of helping them attract birds to their garden.

Volunteers will visit clients in their home, once/twice a week for up to an hour, to help feed the birds. This will include,putting up bird feeders, cleaning them, replacing seed and chatting about birds that have been using the feeders.

About the opportunity

Description

Coram Beanstalk provides one-to-one literacy support to children across England who struggle with their reading ability and confidence.

Becoming a Coram Beanstalk reading helper is a great way to make a difference to a child’s life and enjoy a rewarding volunteering experience.

With Coram Beanstalk's volunteer programmes, you'll help three children on a one-to-one basis, twice a week, for at least 1 year (starting at any time of the year). With your support, you'll help them improve their reading ability, confidence and learn to love reading.

This simple method helps to motivate and support a child to feel more positive about their own reading, to check and deepen the child’s comprehension and to have fun with books in a way that enriches and enhances a child's learning, giving them the skills to succeed in their education.
