Ways to Volunteer
Want to help but not sure how? Here are descriptions of the ways you can get involved - email info@melkshamanddevizeslibdems.org.uk for more information or to see about joining in
Leaflet Delivery
A delivery round takes on average 30–45 minutes. We’ll aim to give you a round that’s easy for you to get to. Having deliverers to cover the whole constituency will make the difference in getting our message out.
Wholesaling Leaflets
We also need people to get leaflets to the deliverers. It’s a really important job that often gets overlooked. You’ll need a car, and
around once a month, spend a few hours dropping off leaflets.
Door Knocking
The most effective way to get people to vote for us is to have a conversation. You don’t need to know policy, you just need to be able
to listen. A door-knocking session is usually around 2 hours. Find out more on one of our Action Days.
Phone Calling
We need people to speak to people. You can do it from the office or from home – we’ll give you a list of people to call, and what to ask them for.
Poster Co-ordinator
We also need someone to be in charge of putting up the posters in each ward. That means knowing how many posters we have, how many we need, and who is putting them up for you.
Poster Putter-Upper
When it comes to election time, we need a few people to put up all the garden posters. It’s a specific job that only comes around at
elections, but needs to be done well and quickly.
Social Media
We try and keep on top of local social media, both to let people know what’s happening and to track down problems so we can help
people. If you like all the socials, you can help from anywhere you are online.
Bakes and Cakes
For our action days and our socials, we need people who are happy to spend an hour or two every so often baking a cake or making
some sandwiches. It’s a great home job that lifts everyone’s spirits.
Social Event Organiser
If you are a social butterfly, this could be for you. Our amazing volunteers run regular events but we need more people to help run
them, or even organise them yourself. Be part of a team that lets everyone have fun!
Stuffing Envelopes
Whether from our office or home, we need people to get leaflets and letters ready for delivery – writing addresses, stuffing envelopes etc. If you can spare a couple of hours every so often, this could be ideal for you. Find out more about our Clerical Club.
Data Entry
We often send out petitions, where we get responses back on paper. We need people to enter that data into our systems, so we can
easily contact people, and get back to them about how we are helping.
Printers and Folders
We produce a lot of our leaflets in-house. That requires people to keep the printer going and to run the folder afterwards. If you can spare a couple of hours to come into the Chippenham office, this would be ideal.
