WITH US
There are many valuable roles for volunteers within Re:store Northampton, giving opportunities to people from all walks of life with all sorts of skills. Whether you prefer to be behind the scenes, or up front chatting to people, we have a part for you to play.

Our volunteers love being part of the team, and many say it feels like family and is a highlight of their week. The minimum requirement is a couple of hours a week, and there are opportunities Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday daytime and in September, on a Tuesday evening too.
The Volunteer Opportunities are split into roles and are needed in most projects, so check out our project pages too and let us know if you want to volunteer in a specific area. There may not be opportunities in all areas at all times, but as part of the training and induction process we will try and support you to find the most suitable position. |
Statement of Equal Opportunities Re:store is a Christian faith-based charity, that is closely linked with Central Vineyard. We welcome volunteers and guests of all faiths (or none), all backgrounds and all socio-economic circumstances. However, it is essential that all volunteers are sympathetic to the Christian faith and can support the work of Re:store Northampton and Central Vineyard. See our statement of faith. |

ROLES
CONNECT TEAM
CONNECT TEAM
The Connect Team is about creating connections for our guests, from their first experience to ongoing relationships. There are many opportunities that you can choose from including welcoming, hosting and befriending.
There are CONNECT opportunities across all projects, including the Allotment, Growbaby, Nest and Hub, so if you would like to work with a project then please tell us. These roles require a level of training or experience in working with people, but are often the most rewarding for volunteers who get to chat to people face-to-face. If you are an outgoing people-person, can listen and care for others, then we would be interested in exploring these opportunities with you.
