Inspired by the Big Help Out to consider volunteering?

Do you want to be part of a friendly team helping your local community?

The Big Yellow Bus Project needs volunteers now more than ever to help make a difference to local people. In the last year we have faced an unprecedented demand due to the cost-of-living crisis.

We are appealing for new volunteers from all backgrounds who are looking for a volunteering role that is both challenging and rewarding. We are currently recruiting for the following roles:

Administration/centre assistants. You will provide a professional welcome to callers at the door of our new Cirencester support centre. You will triage callers without an appointment and undertake a wide range of administrative tasks, including contacting clients by telephone and text, and handling inward and outbound post.

You must be computer literate but full training in triage and our IT systems will be given.

Shop Volunteers. You will welcome people visiting the charity shop in Cirencester, help sort stock, price up items, and assist customers. You need to have a warm and welcoming attitude. No prior advice experience is necessary as full training will be given.

Chantelle Walsh, our Operations Manager said:

“Now more than ever, you can really make a difference by volunteering with us. We’re seeing more and more people needing support as living costs spiral. As well as helping the local community, we know people who volunteer their time get a lot back. We’ll give you all the training you need and would love to hear from you.”
