Give a little time – make a big difference
As a Breakthrough volunteer, you can make a big contribution to the work we do.
If you’re available in the daytime, evenings, or even just occasionally, there’s a wide range of activities that you could help us with. There are opportunities in both our London and Edinburgh offices.
Current Volunteer Opportunities in our Head Office
Receptionist
We are looking for a volunteer to help us with basic reception duties on an ad hoc basis. Ideally you should reside within the Holborn area or be available to travel to our head office at short notice and as required. For further details please contact info@breakthrough.org.uk
Daytime
If you can offer day-to-day office administration support and think you’d enjoy volunteering for Breakthrough, get in touch.
Ideally, we’re looking for volunteers who can be with us during normal office hours – 9.30am - 5.30pm Monday to Friday, from 1 – 5 days per week. There is no minimum commitment; however, ideally we’re looking for people that could volunteer for three months or more.
For more information on current volunteer vacancies, please contact info@breakthrough.org.uk
Evening
Monday and Thursday evenings are volunteer evenings at Breakthrough. On these days, between 5.30 and 7.00pm, volunteers join us to help out with data inputting and preparing mailshots.
From time to time as an evening volunteer, you could also find yourself at theatres or other venues where we organise collections.
There’s no minimum commitment required for the evening sessions – just come along and join in when you can.
Events
If demands on your time mean that a regular commitment is impractical, helping out at events is an ideal way to make a contribution.
Throughout the year, Breakthrough is involved in many events. We’re always grateful to have extra people around to offer refreshments to thirsty runners, cheer our teams on, hold collections and carry out other valuable tasks.
To see a full list of events where we will need help throughout 2012 and to register your interest today, please fill in this form.
Professional
A professional volunteer is someone who can bring specialist skills, experience and knowledge to some specific areas of Breakthrough's work and projects.
Projects will vary from time to time and have in the past included specialist work in IT, photography, graphic design, leadership management etc.
