As part of our programme of expansion we aim to recruit a team of 'TAO Volunteers' who we hope will be willing to dedicate their time, skills and commitment on an ad-hoc basis to assist us with fund-raising and administrative projects. We do not require a large commitment from our Volunteers and even just a few hours of your time at any of our events would be a huge benefit to the charity.
We do not plan to employ volunteers overseas but will instead make you aware of different volunteer opportunities throughout the year in the UK. Please see our 'Events' page for recent activities in which our Volunteers were involved.
For those wishing to get to know the voluntary sector in more depth we hope that volunteering with TAO will enable you to take a closer look at how an international, non-governmental organisation works and the challenges we face.
More specifically, we would like our Volunteers to assist us in the following activities:
General Events - Collecting donations, manning our display tables, putting up our posters and information boards and explaining to the public the projects and work of the charity at fund-raising events.
Raising Awareness - Perhaps visiting schools, colleges, churches and businesses with our Trustees to explain the projects and work of the charity or even just talking to people in your street.
Charity Challenges - We hope to start a series of challenge events to raise money by sponsorship and will be seeking active volunteers to help us!
Office administration - We are always on the look-out for people who can devote some free skilled time to assist us with IT and other work to help the charity function more effectively.
In return for your time we hope you'll find a new sense of satisfaction in working with a UK registered charity on some life-changing projects. We'll also aim to keep you updated on all developments within TAO by way of an electronic newsletter and hope to see you at one of our planned 'Drinks and News' evenings.
