VAST

Our vision for volunteering is to create a community where everyone comes together to make a positive impact. We believe that together we can create meaningful connections, foster empathy, and create a real sense of unity.

Putting the ‘unity’ in community, our mission is to inspire others to join in and help make the world a better place for all.

We’re actually looking for volunteers to support VAST and some of our projects. If none of these roles sound like you, let us know and we’ll help you find your perfect role. 

Volunteer Administrator

Stoke Parent Carer Forum Support

Community Health Champion Project Support

VAST needs your help to increase our capacity within our Volunteer Brokerage Service. The brokerage service matches volunteers to an appropriate opportunity based on their interests, skills and experiences. The administrator will deal with enquiries from potential volunteers and help them find their ideal volunteer opportunity whilst keeping accurate records.

Could you help support the development of an effective Parent Carer Forum in Stoke-on-Trent? We are looking for an individual who is passionate about improving services and support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Would you like to join a busy team supporting VAST’s Community Health Champions project? VAST is looking for an engaging individual to keep in touch with our Community Health Champions. The role will provide office, administrative and engagement experience and will be part of an exciting project based within a friendly team environment.

Community Health Champions

Community Health Champions are people like you, people who live or work in Stoke-on-Trent, who want to make a difference in their communities. VAST is recruiting Community Health Champions across the city.  Champions are trained and supported to share good information on health-related matters with family, friends, colleagues and their local community.
