Volunteering Vacancies Within OWCA
Car Scheme
If you enjoy driving and helping those that are unable to use public transport to get about, then this could be the volunteering opportunity for you. Our Car Scheme takes local people to the shops, doctors, dentist etc and helps them to stay as independent as possible for as long as possible.
We do pay mileage expenses that are incurred whilst volunteering for us so if you feel that you could spare just a couple of hours a week then please contact us.
Mini Bus
We have a 10 seater mini bus that can be hired by local groups and we also arrange outings throughout the year for the local community. We always need volunteer drivers, so if you enjoy driving to a variety of locations and can spare a few hours a week to help, then contact us and become a volunteer.
