Volunteering

 

Volunteering opportunities are only available to BFB entitled personnel

 

Within the BFB community, there are a number of voluntary opportunities that can help you get out and meet new people, use your talents, improve the activities and services on offer within our community and enhance your CV.

​

There are both regular and 'one off' volunteering options.

​

Some of the regular volunteering opportunities include:

​

•  SSAFA Community Serving Team (SCT) Brunei

The SSAFA Community Serving Team Brunei provides funding and support to all serving Garrison members, their dependants, other associated Garrison organisations and Garrison-related community projects. 

​

It is made up of volunteers from across the Garrison community who work together to organise events to help reduce isolation, generate funds and award funding grants to support various activities across BFB. Key roles are: Chairperson, Administration Coordinator, Finance Coordinator, Events and Fundraising Coordinator and Community Connection Champion.

​

As SSAFA is a recognised UK-registered military charity, volunteering can enhance your CV. 

For more information, contact SSAFA SCT Brunei: brunei.sct@ssafa.org.uk.

• Army Welfare Community Support (AWS)

AWS needs volunteers to assist with Parents & Toddlers groups and Youth Clubs. Training will be provided and certified courses are run through the year; including First Aid and Sports Leaders UK Awards. All volunteers must have completed a DBS vetting before they can begin.

​

If you are interested in assisting us with these activities, please contact the AWS Community Team located in the Chit Chat Community Centre 

​​

• The Garrison Thrift Shop

The Garrison Thrift Shop is run by volunteers and is open regularly a number of times throughout the week. It is a wonderful way to meet new people in our community both from BFB and outside, while providing a much needed service and earning funds that are donated to support our community. If you would be interested in offering your services to help do a shift - we ask for a minimum of 2 x 2 hour shifts per month, please drop in or message through the Facebook page 'Garrison Thrift Shop Seria'

​

• BFBS Cinelink

There is a small Cinema in the Mumong Community Centre where films can be run through the BFBS Cinelink system.  Volunteers are needed to learn how to use the equipment and be willing to organise and promote film showings for the community.

If you are interested in assisting with this activity, please contact the AWS Community Team located in the Chit Chat Community Centre.
