Volunteering
Do you have spare time?
Volunteers keep the wheels on our mobility buses turning! We are very fortunate to have a dedicated team at Norwich Door to Door whose valuable contributions range from driving buses, assisting passengers, making cards, office support and assistance at events. Without them, we simply would not be able to deliver our services, which provide necessary help to isolated older people, disabled adults and disabled children.

Who can volunteer?
Anyone can volunteer. It doesn’t matter what your skills, experience or background are. We work with volunteers from all walks of life – home maker volunteers, volunteers who are in full or part time work – volunteers just retired and job seeking volunteers.
What can I do and How much time will I have to give?
Volunteer opportunities with us include office and events assistants, promotion & organisation of the 100 Club, or selling second hand books. Volunteers on the bus, Drivers or Passenger Assistants, always work with another team member. You can choose to work one or two days a week or a half day a week/fortnight.
You might have specific skills you wish to share with us – volunteers Margaret and Marrian work on our recycled “Greetings card project”. John advises when I.T. troubles brew along with other challenges!
Trustees
Trustees who work with us dedicate 2 or 3 years to lend their skills and participate in our organisation. People must be willing to help push forward new developments and get passionate about equality, they must be prepared to share their skills in business, marketing and introduce new friends.
If you have the time and want to join a proactive and enthusiastic group call us today. We are passionate about developing an equal community and we want people who want to take part in building up our local community so that everyone is able to contribute in whatever what they can.
