Volunteers

It is no exaggeration to say that without the hard work of our volunteers, Rahab would not be where it is today. Without the commitment and passion of those who started the group in 2005 - Anita Hawthorne (Rahab’s first project manager), Tim Clewer (MTF’s director), Tonia Elliott (part of the founding group), Chris Milton and Malc Peirce (previous and pre-sent FCG directors), Sylvia Eedle (invaluable prayer support) and Lorraine Joslin (current Project Manager) Rahab wouldn’t have started and continued to develop. Our current volunteer base enables Night Outreach Teams to continue, as well as day support work. Please do contact us (using the form on the right of our webpage) if you have any enquiries about volunteering with Rahab.

Volunteers can get involved in the following activities:

Night Outreach Teams
Day Time Support (keywork sessions & accompanying or helping access to appointments)
Advocacy / Befriending / Mentoring
Prayer Support
Administrational Support
Fundraising
