What is a Connections Volunteer?
This role provides support for local people to have their voices heard. It helps them access and engage with services and feel in control of their care and support.
Their aim is to help our Clients:
- believe that local services work in their interests
- connect with support in their communities
- feel professionals will listen to them
Volunteers with an interest in the below types of support will receive additional training on:
- autistic spectrum conditions
- general mental health
- people with a learning disability (includes sub-interests of ‘child protection’ and children in need)
- people leaving hospital
- other areas of interest dependent on local need
What will I do?
Before you start:
- complete our application process, training, and shadowing to a satisfactory standard
- depending on your preferences, set a day and time to regularly volunteer a few hours
At your first session:
- we will provide you with the details of a person who has asked us for help
- you will see case notes and do any research or training before you speak to the Client
At sessions that follow:
- make regular contact with the person to work together on an achievable outcome
- for example, you might work with someone who feels a care manager doesn’t listen
- you will then support the person to reconnect with the professional. Or discuss other options, such as making a complaint
What happens next:
- record your progress at the end of every meeting, and report back to us
- we close a case once outcomes are achieved, or the person no longer wants help
- then we will look for a new case for you to work on
- experienced volunteers may take on 2 cases within their volunteering hours
Do you have an interest in disability, mental health or human rights, or in helping people with care needs?
Do you share our values ... Read more
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
If theatres were being imagined today, we probably wouldn’t build them in the way we have come to expect. Segregating the social space and performance space, so that everyone must sit quietly, in the dark, on uncomfortable seats in a warm auditorium feels increasingly dated, abelist and classist. Having to pay more to be able to get a better view, dressing up for the occasion and only being allowed to go to the loo at certain times are nothing more than castoff rules from a Victorian age.
By starting from the ground up, The PurpleDoor proposes a radical alternative, which brings theatre back to its roots in community engagement and civic pride. Our culture will be free at the point of access, with a forward facing bar and a focus on supporting working-class audiences and artists.
We're currently recruiting for Trustees with a Finance/Accounting background, Human Resources and Legal background in relation to charity fundraising. We would love to speak to potential Trustees from the black, Asian and minority ethnic community colleagues as we are currently under-represented on the Board.
Our Oxfam Bookshop in New Milton is reopening on the 12th of April. We are looking for volunteers who help us to keep the shop open and run it smoothly.
Oxfam is a global movement which fights against poverty, climate change, gender inequality, unfair wage, etc. During the Pandemic we found the way to rise some income due to the online sales. With the reopening we want to continue defending our values, and also, offering a safe environment to all those who want to give out some spare time.
Become a volunteer
We have volunteer roles for people who would like to work on the till, meeting and greeting customers and donors in our retail shop. We also need people who would like to work behind the scenes at our charity shop, readying donations for sale and perhaps even supporting our Oxfam Online Shop. If you wish to gain valuable skills and experience by taking on a supervisory role, we will gladly train you to do so.
Why be a volunteer?
Your time will make a huge difference; for example, we estimate one four-hour shift will on average provide enough income to enable Oxfam to provide life-saving handwashing facilities for 81 people.
No experience is necessary as full training will be given, all we ask is that you’re happy to work as part of a diverse and inclusive team.
Benefits of becoming a Volunteer:
· Gain genuine experience working in a retail environment
· Great way to meet new people
· Be part of a team and make a positive change to the world
· Opportunity to utilise and develop your transferable skills
· Travel and lunch (full day) expenses paid where relevant
