TSL Kirklees Volunteering is the official Volunteer Centre for Kirklees
This means that we’re here to help you get started on your volunteering journey and support you through the process.
We also make sure that any groups or charities that advertise for volunteers on our website will look after their volunteers properly. Some of them will have a stamp of approval called the Kirklees Volunteering Quality Award (KVQA), which means that they’ve done even more to make sure that their volunteers are valued and have a good experience.

Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice supports children with life-shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire.
We’re here for any family confronted with the news their child has a life-shortening condition, however, wherever and whenever they need us. By providing superb nursing care, hydrotherapy, creative therapy, days out, memory making, end of life care, bereavement support and counselling, Forget Me Not helps families make the most of every moment they have together.
This year we need over £6.5 million to provide vital care and support to local children and families. Only a small proportion comes from the government or NHS, so we must raise over 80% of that ourselves.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rates us as ‘outstanding’. This puts us in the top 1% of all of the organisations they inspect.
We believe variety is the spice of life, so we like to make our roles varied so you can gain new experiences and enhance your skills – the role of Shop Assistant Volunteer may include;
· Ensuring quality customer service
· Handling money
· Introducing gift aid to donors
· Promoting the Forget Me Not lottery
· Sorting and steaming clothes
· Servicing customers
· Housing keeping and merchandising
· Be a positive role model for our younger volunteers
· Training, supporting & supervising young volunteers, work experience & other youth development schemes by using the ‘Welcome & Induction Booklet’
