Terrence Higgins Trust appeals for volunteers in Coventry and Warwickshire

Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is launching a volunteer recruitment drive in Coventry and Warwickshire today. The HIV and sexual health charity is looking for local people who are able to give up some of their time to support its work.

The charity has a range of volunteering roles from office administration to helping out at fundraising events. THT is also looking for people to take part in its Community Support service, which provides one to one emotional and social support to people living with HIV, so that they can live full and independent lives.

Other opportunities include:
o Office administration
o Providing information on HIV and sexual health in bars, pubs and clubs and online
o Helping with fundraising events
and much more!

Kate Soanes, Centre Manager for THT in Coventry said “Our volunteers play a vital role in our work and without them, we couldn’t provide all the services we do. In return for giving up some of your time we’ll ensure you’re trained and supported. It’s also a great opportunity to make new friends.  We’ve got a range of roles so if you’re interested in making a difference and would like to help Terrence Higgins Trust please get in touch”
