RELATE Worcestershire is in urgent need of reception volunteers in Redditch to provide a welcoming, meet and greet, caring atmosphere for their clients.

Volunteers are needed to support counsellors in two hour slots on Wednesdays at the Ecumenical Centre in the town centre from 4.30pm to 6.30pm or 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

Volunteers may help as often or as little as they wish and no previous experience is needed but they must be able to demonstrate discretion and absolute confidentiality.

A spokesman from relate, which provides relationship counselling and sex therapy, said: "Volunteers are an extremely valuable resource for all local charities as without them many would be unable to function.

"Relate Worcestershire’s aim is to develop and support healthy relationships by helping people strengthen and improve those relationships. Most people have times when difficulties seem hard to cope with. Counsellors help people explore a way forward, work toward solutions and increase understanding in their relationships."

If anyone is interested in volunteering they can call Alison Stanley, operations manager on 01905 23597 or email reception@relate-worcestershire.org.
