Use as a stepping stone

Projects (Former Employee) - London - 4 July 2023

There are far too many layers of bloated management, who don’t understand the day to day work. Those at lower grades do the work and the Directors take credit for this.As there’s so many layers of management there is duplication of work : within departments and across the organisation.

Great Charity, very relaxed and welcoming. A pleasant experience. If you were looking for an environment with not too much pressure and someplace where quality over quantity with regards to work presented is appreciated this is the place for you

Productive and Fun

Intern - Charity Fund Raiser (Former Employee) - London - 30 May 2019

A typical day at work is quite fun but very tiring for me. Our job required us to walk around in the street of London to get sign-ups for our charity. The most enjoyable part of the job is the interaction I had with the staff. They are really friendly and quite supportive.

Pros

few hours

Cons

Gets tiring if you have any physical injury

None

Everything

Hard work but worth it

Fundraiser (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 6 March 2017

Grew a lot in confidence. A typical day at work was travelling on the train to the site and then meeting targets for the day. Up tempo, have to have a lot of motivation. Good fun.

Pros

Good friends

Cons

Rejection

Very professionally run charity offering volunteer work on events

volunteer / communicator (Current Employee) - UK - 3 July 2012

Events are run throughout the year for Deaf children. These can include one-day sports or outdoor activities, first time away from home weekends, other weekend holidays, or week-long residential holidays. All are great fun for the children and young people and for the volunteers.Training is offered: basic skills and policies that new volunteers need to know, more advanced training for more experienced volunteers who are looking to take on more responsibility, and many more training sessions such as autism awareness, first aid, epi pen training, and NAPPI skills.Volunteering on events and helping to look after children, give encouragement, and sometimes dealing with challenging behaviour is not an easy task, but I've enjoyed every single event.
