Volunteer Opportunities
WaterAid Speakers are trained volunteers that deliver inspiring talks and workshops, to raise awareness about the importance of clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, to transform peoples’ lives for good.
Our Speaker volunteers engage audiences about the important work of WaterAid, inspiring them to take action, as they speak with schools, universities, businesses, youth groups, religious places of worship, service organisations, and many more.
Talks and workshops are delivered either face to face or virtually using online tools such as Zoom or Microsoft teams. This means that there are opportunities all over Salford and the surrounding areas.

•Deliver a minimum of four talks or workshops per year, either online and/or face to face.
•Contact new audiences to organise and deliver talk and workshop opportunities.
•Keep up to date with our key messages, appeals, campaigns, fundraising and volunteering.
•Demonstrate the WaterAid values including being considerate when representing WaterAid and always leaving others with a positive view of our organisation and the work that we do.
