Volunteering
Volunteers are central to every aspect of our work. There are lots of different opportunities to get involved with. We hope to provide structured and supportive volunteering opportunities that suit all interests, skills, availability and levels of experience. Some roles require a regular commitment each week, whereas others can be more flexible or occasional.
Under our volunteering programme, we can help people learn new skills and gain experience in different areas or use their existing skills and knowledge to give back and help others.
Volunteers receive an induction and safeguarding training, have regular peer-support meetings with their team, receive ongoing support and supervision from their Project Coordinator, and can attend further training and development opportunities in relevant areas.
Get in touch to find out about our current volunteer roles and for a volunteer application form.
Befriending
We are developing a befriending service for people who are isolated, have additional needs that make it difficult for them to access our core services, or would simply benefit from some friendship and extra support.
Get in touch with the Support Programme Leader if you are interested in being part of the Befriending Project.
Donate
Donating to the Centre couldn’t be easier – just access our page at give.net and you can make either a one-off payment or a monthly donation. We are also now a listed charity on wonderful.org. They do not charge charities any fees to be listed on their website, which means 100% of your donation goes to the Centre!
If you donate to St. Augustine’s Centre you can be certain that we will use your donation wisely in our work supporting the vulnerable.
Thank you for your support.
Donated Goods – what we can and can’t take
We welcome donations, however, we cannot always take everything due to safety or legal reasons. We would also be grateful if you could call to check our current needs as we have very limited storage at the Centre.
If you are wanting to show your support for the work that we do here, then you can make a financial contribution via our give.net or wonderful.org pages (please note that if you donate via wonderful.org 100% of the donation goes to the Centre). Making a financial contribution (big or small!) is a much better way of ensuring that someone gets what they need, such as uniform for their children or travel expenses to important Home Office interviews.
Partner with Us
