How to get involved with STN

VOLUNTEERING

The charity is always interested to hear from prospective volunteer members and supporters. There are a number of roles available from technical to administrative, reading to fundraising. In fact some volunteers undertake a variety of tasks. STN is an equal opportunities charity - people of all backgrounds are welcome. Young and old, and locally born and bred just as much as those who have moved to the area. (However please note: the charity normally suggests a minimum age of 18 years for volunteers)

 Do you have experience of working  for another Talking News group?... or of audio recording, reading for others, ... or maybe public speaking, fundraising, administration, marketing, computing, electronics or desktop publishing?

If not STN will be happy to train and support anyone who is both interested and willing to give their time to help us

There is also a small "pool" of standby volunteers, who can be called upon if a team has a temporary vacancy - for example, if a regular reader, sorter or technician cannot attend a session.

Many volunteers find relief duties a useful way to begin - working with any of the 7 different teams as needed.

If you are interested please feel free express your interest using our on-line form under "Apply to Join" or you can ring our Volunteer Co-ordinator, Val Newbolt on 0114 2304919 or email her by clicking on the following link : STN_Recruitment@sheffieldtalkingnews.org.uk.
