Volunteers play a pivotal role in Greenway Women's Centre's ability to provide its services to women and their families in the local community.

Volunteering opportunities are available in the following areas:

Drop-in Cafe

The Drop-in Cafe is Greenway's main volunteer project, managed and operated entirely by volunteers. The Drop-In provides tea, coffee, scones and other tasty treats for Centre users, staff and visitors, all at very low cost.

Drop-In volunteers also prepare and serve food at all social events which take place within Greenway Women's Centre, including the annual Celebration Day and the ever popular Christmas Lunch.

Childcare

Greenway Women's Centre operates a Sessional Day Care facility for pre-school children, from birth to four years.

Volunteers working within the Childcare Department assist staff in delivering play and child development activities, preparation of snacks, supervising break and lunch times and tidying up at the end of each session.

All volunteers in the Childcare Department must be successfully vetted through Access NI and Health & Social Services before they can commence their role.

Reception

Reception is the first point of contact for all those entering Greenway Women's Centre. The role of the reception volunteer is to greet visitors entering the building and answer incoming telephone calls, taking messages if required.

Full training on operating the telephone system is provided prior to commencing this role.

Other volunteering opportunities:

• Cleaner
• Kitchen Help
• Monthly Newsletter
• Maintenance/DIY
