Volunteers are central to our work. We work with 140 volunteers! There are lots of ways to get involved including: gardening; cooking; befriending; teaching English; DIY; reception; office support; sorting donated clothes and shoes; packing goods for people to deliver; deliveries; fixing donated laptops and phones; bike fixing; managing the queues for our Welcome Café; and more.

We hope to provide 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.

We are in the process of recruiting a Volunteer and Befriending Co-ordinator so we can provide good support to all our volunteers. This may include an induction and safeguarding training, peer-support meetings, social opportunities and further training and development opportunities.

Please email phoebe.hendy@staugustinescentrehalifax.org.uk if you are interested in Volunteering and sign up to our newsletter below. Bear with us – it might be a few weeks until we get back to you.

We will soon be re-developing a befriending service for people who are isolated or have additional needs that make it difficult for them to access our services, or would simply benefit from some friendship and extra support. Please email phoebe.hendy@staugustinescentrehalifax.org.uk if you are interested in being a Befriender. Bear with us – it might be a few weeks until we get back to you.

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.

You can be certain that we will use your donation wisely in our work supporting people who use our services. If you have any questions about donating please contact Sara on 07974 253089. Thank you for your support.

We are currently overwhelmed with donations of clothes, shoes, bedding, toys etc and have no room for more – with the exception of bags for life which we do need. If you would like to donate bags for life or you have any questions about donating goods please contact Mel on 07928 863468.

We are always very interested to hear from organisations who would like to explore joint projects or funding opportunities with us! Please contact Sara on 07974 253089 to arrange a meeting.

Please see our latest job vacancies, if any, below. Keep an eye on out for any updates on this page and our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Due to the pandemic we aren’t accepting student placements currently but will be in the future.
