We rely on funding, volunteers and support from a variety of sources in order to deliver advice services in communities across the South Bristol area, wherever the need is greatest.
Would you like to learn new skills and meet new people? SBAS offers a range of varied and interesting volunteering opportunities across all our projects. If you are interested, live locally, and are willing to commit to a minimum period of six months for training and placement, then we would love to hear from you. If you are looking for something more casual, then we are always welcome to hear from people interested in helping out with one-off activities or donating their expertise for special projects.
If you would like to make a huge difference to people in financial hardship, we have the perfect role for you. As a money advice volunteer you will help our debt advisers in progressing casework, assist with making charity applications for bankruptcy fees and other needs, make applications to Bristol Wessex Waters' Restart and Assist schemes to address water arrears, and more.
If you are looking to gain experience in an office environment, our friendly admin team can provide training in a range of administrative functions. The role includes word processing, filing, data input, scanning data, reception duties and generally supporting the admin team. All information is treated confidentially.
If you are looking for an all-round experience then this varied role involves supporting advisers in progressing case work. You will make applications for crisis loans or charity grants, help clients to manage their energy and water rates, support clients to apply for benefits, complete forms and identify further needs.
As a trustee you’ll have the chance to help lead an organisation that’s making a real difference to clients and local communities. SBAS is a registered charity with a small board of friendly trustees who are responsible for deciding how the charity is run, including deciding how resources are used, making sure the charity is fulfilling its purpose and has all the relevant policies and procedures in place.
As a trustee, it can be really rewarding being able to give back to the community, as well as a great way of putting existing skills to use and being a great opportunity to learn new things from others. You don’t need specific qualifications or experience to be a trustee. The SBAS trustee board welcomes people of all ages, backgrounds and experience who are passionate about helping their local community. Please contact us if you would like to find out more.
