ARE YOU A SKILLED TRADESPERSON?
We generally have a real need for skilled tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, carpenters etc), in particular those who can self-certify their work. The work would vary from minor maintenance to helping with the conversion of new micro-flats.

CAN YOU HELP CONVERT CONTAINERS INTO MICRO-FLATS?
We anticipate that we will have limited need for a few practically minded volunteers to help with container conversions. This would either be at Spring Street or another site close to Bristol. This activity is really suited to skilled tradespeople (perhaps retired) or competent home DIY folk.

PROVIDE GENERAL PRACTICAL HELP
Periodically we need people to do various practical things – e.g. painting/decorating, minor maintenance tasks (home DIY type jobs), sorting out donated items.

SUPPORT OUR WELL-BEING CENTRE
This is still a fairly new facility at Spring Street, to further support the well-being of our residents. The services we offer will evolve over time, depending on people’s needs and availability of suitable volunteers.

We already offer, or plan to offer:
Hair cuts
An area for training activities (e.g. first aid, life skills, financial management..)
Yoga, Pilates, meditation classes etc
Massage therapy
Help with form-filling and job applications (e.g. on a PC).
If you have skills that could support this, then please get in touch.

FUNDRAISING
The big thing that we always need is money! This is to help fund the day-to-day running costs, and (hopefully) to enable us to expand so that we can help more people.

If you are able to get involved with existing fundraising activities, or perhaps could suggest new ones then please let us know. This could include anything from asking local businesses for raffle prizes, or running a fund-raising event or applying for grant funding.

SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT
Currently we have need of some help with our Social Media Platforms and will be needing some help moving forward with our newsletter.

WE NEED CLEANERS
Currently we have no need for any further volunteers for this activity.

ARE YOU A BUDDING CHEF?
We are always on the look out for volunteers to help us run our soup kitchens.
