The Citadel Volunteer may provide support with some, or all, of the following: Emotional support - just being there to listen and share stories and experiences. Connecting with the community - this could be through a community group, a club, a sport, a hobby, or just spending time in a local café. We love volunteers to bring their own passions and community connections with them to Citadel and to help the people they support to find or nurture theirs! Support with finding a home – in some cases our volunteers help those in short term housing find their next step. This could be going along to house viewings or helping liaise with housing providers. Support in making a house a home - Sourcing household items and furniture, helping with moving or with DIY or maintenance in some cases. Support with keeping a home – by helping with budgeting, setting up utility accounts or understanding a tenancy and liaison with landlord for example. You may help with some or all these areas, but you do not need to be an expert at any of them and will receive support from your Citadel Coordinator. If you feel you have a specialism or excel in one of these areas, let us know- we can find a position that suits you!
Volunteering with us means making a real impact in the lives of people transitioning out of homelessness and into stable hosuing. Whether it is being a listening ear, offering practical advise, or lending a hand with simple DIY tasks, your support will be invaluable. You'll have the chance to build meaningful connections, knowing your contributions directly support someone in maintaining their home and independence. It's a rewarding experience that allows you to use your skills while empowering others to thrive. Plus, you'll be part of a passionate team working to end homelessness, and every small action you take helps create lasting change in your community!
