Volunteering at the Millstream Centre

Do you have some skills and time to share?

Volunteering for us

We rely on our generous volunteers and could not function without them.

All volunteers and their efforts are greatly appreciated by both ourselves and the community. By volunteering for us you will be joining an enthusiastic team, get involved in your community and really make a difference.

Volunteering, as many of our team have discovered, can be a very rewarding experience.

Currently we have helpers working with the Millstream Community Hub, supporting our local communities during the Covid-19 pandemic. We use volunteers to help with shopping, prescription collection, phone chats, the delivery of hot meals, preparation work at the Centre and driving.

As we reopen, we could always use more Volunteer Drivers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays delivering hot meals or driving customers in Benson or Ewelme to and from the Centre, no more than 45 minutes of your time. There is also a continuing need for Centre Volunteers from 10:30 until 14:00. So please, if you can help, if only from time to time for an occasional trip or day, do give us a ring or fill in (without any obligation) our enquiry form.

There are always new tasks popping up. You never know what is around the corner, what events, or what services may be required. Let us know your interest, and your areas of expertise!

If you would like to find out more about volunteering for us before applying just call 01491 834 889 to talk with Donna our Centre manager. If the phones are not manned, just leave a message and we will get back to you.

These are quotes from just a few of our happy customers.

ˮThe speed and efficiency with which Millstream, the Patient's Panel, the Volunteer Helpline, and the Churches got things together under your auspices was truly remarkable, and the elderly and otherwise vulnerable people in the area have benefited greatly from the wonderful efforts of your staff and volunteers, and of course, this generous activity continues while the need exists.

ˮA huge thank you for everything that you are doing for our community and so much for myself. I have appreciated the help in getting my prescription while I was very unwell and also the cheerful volunteer for getting my shopping.

ˮMany thanks for your thinking of giving time to people like myself who is unable to venture out at this difficult time.
