Telent celebrates Volunteers’ Week 2022

Initially I was volunteering as a Vaccination Steward during the lockdown to support the rollout of the vaccination programme. Now I just volunteer as and when I’m needed. Each volunteer has access to an app which shows the requirements in your local area. Depending on if they have a requirement, I’m available and if the location isn’t too far away, I’ll go in to provide support. I’ve worked in Leamington, Coventry, and Bedworth at different locations so far.

My current roles are with Chorley’s Angels as a Voluntary First Aider and ICT Officer. My role as a First Aider includes providing First Aid cover to any event that we have been asked to support. I also help to provide training to the public during any public demonstrations, other organisations such as local Scout units and train any new Chorley’s Angels. As the ICT Officer I help to manage the organisation’s social media presence and website and am the point of contact for any enquiries. I am also training and gaining experience to become a qualified and accredited Trainer.
