Canvassing volunteers

Do you want to raise some funds for your community organisation, faith group, or charity? Do you have volunteers who would be able to help people fill in a simple form so that they are eligible to vote?

Tameside Democratic Services are looking for community organisations, faith groups and charities who can provide volunteers.

What do you have to do:

• Provide volunteers, who are able to interact with those who have not yet completed a household enquiry form (HEF form), get it completed and return to Tameside Democratic Services.
• Provide volunteers who are over 18 years old, who are able to give their time between 15 October – 2 November.
• Where volunteers struggle to make contact, leave a household enquiry form (HEF form). *
• Provide records of houses visited and outcomes of visit.

What you will get:

• All volunteers will receive a one hour training session
• Your organisation will be given addresses to target those who have not yet completed a household enquiry form (HEF form).
• For each completed & returned HEF form your organisation will receive £1.50.
• For any forms where you have struggled to make contact but left a form at the address your organisation will receive 50p.*

If your organisation is interested in this opportunity, please contact Dawn Acton on 0161 339 2345 or email dawn.acton@actiontogether.org.uk by Friday 21 September.

*Volunteers may be asked for notes to confirm a visit was made.
