Local charity calls for help to change lives

A local charity is calling on people to "be the voice that changes lives" by joining their helpline team.

Staffordshire Women's Aid Helpline Volunteers are the first point of contact for people affected by domestic and sexual violence.

They play a vital role in helping those who contact the charity by offering emotional support, a listening ear and connecting them with services they need.

Those interested in volunteering should be able to commit to at least one four-hour shift per week at the Women's Centre in Stafford.Travel costs and parking expenses will be provided within reason.
