Volunteer work

Romsey Mill volunteers cannot be stereotyped!  They come from all walks of life - young, retired, full-time parents, college students, high powered professionals!!  This diversity is our biggest asset.

People volunteer for many different reasons:

  • A desire to put something back into the community
  • A pleasure in meeting and working with others
  • A concern for the welfare of others in the community
  • A challenge to put faith into practice in a relevant way
  • An opportunity to gain practical experience for the future

It's our aim to provide training for all those involved.

Most pressing current needs...

  • One-off help on Sunday 21st Sep (am) at Chariots of Fire race
  • Playgroup assistants (Tue - Fri am)
  • Help in Aspire groups for 12-17 year-olds (Mon eve)
  • Charity shop assistants (Mon - Sat, am or pm)

If you might be able to help please contact us.

  • Under 5s Programme

Supervising children's play, welcoming parents, running the coffee bar and helping set up and clear away at our Playgroup and Toddler groups.
 

  • Youth Work

'I helped on a high wire forest adventure trip with 10-11 year-olds. It was great fun!'
Aspire, Social Inclusion and Transitions Programmes:
 
Helping to provide support through groups, trips and activities.  Helping in groups to improve skills such as literacy and numeracy and general social skills.  Participating in weekly groups for children and young people on the autistic spectrum - joining in with their chosen activities (e.g. team sports, board games, construction toys).  Very rewarding and lots of fun!

  • Charity Shop

Serving customers, sorting stock and helping to provide a community atmosphere in our shop in Thoday street. 
 
We currently need people to help sort Monday - Saturday mornings.

  • Young Parents Programme

Helping to supervise children in our creche while the young parents improve their skills in courses and other activities.
 

  • JAM & the J Team

If you like working with 5-11 yr olds, you might like to help with our monthly Friday evening club or summer holiday playscheme.
 
Helping with under 5s is so much fun!
 

  • Other opportunities

You may have some IT, clerical or maintenance skills that we could benefit from.  Perhaps you could help with fundraising events or you may have some ideas of your own?!

However you choose to help, you will always be supported, given help and training where necessary and above all APPRECIATED!!
