Volunteer Opportunities
Across the City of Cambridge there are many organisations and groups that are looking for people to get involved. Here are some current opportunities:
 MAC - The Cambridge Money Advice Centre is looking for people who would be interested in becoming volunteer debt advisers, especially those who are available during the day. We will provide full training and continued support and you decide how much time you would like to commit. Completing the training does not commit you to being an adviser. If you are interested, please get in touch on 01223 727455 or office.mac.cambridge@gmail.com.
 The Besom in Cambridge helps those who want to make a difference. It provides a bridge between those who want to give time, money, things or skills and those in need. To find out more please phone 07936 703574 or email info@thebesomincambridge.org.uk
 Jimmy's Night Shelter is heavily dependant on a volunteer team to support staff, serve meals, clear up and help make our guests comfortable.
They are currently having a hard time filling our volunteer shifts. Would you like to try out a shift or two, to both help us and out and to give you a greater insight into the work of Jimmy’s. And of course we’d be delighted if you were able to join us on a more permanent basis, working with us in a way that’s convenient to you: weekly, fortnightly or monthly turns.
They operate four shifts:
Breakfast (uncooked), 7.30am – 10.00am: serve cereal, keep tea & coffee etc topped up, clear up used dishes, help with bed making
Breakfast (cooked), 7.30am – 10.00am: provide cooked breakfast of (usually) eggs, sausages, bacon, beans etc, keep tea & coffee etc topped up, clear up used dishes
Evenings, 6.30pm – 9.30pm: serve evening meals, clean kitchen, collect used crockery, help as needed eg laundry
Overnights, 10.00pm – 7.00am: working with one project worker, some cleaning and tidying, followed by sleep on our comfy sofa (to be woken in an emergency).
If you can help (and are over 18 years of age), please ring Jane on 0845 680 6085, or email her a jane@jimmysnightshelter.org.uk for more details.
