At Watford & Three Rivers Refugee Partnership, our objective is to provide practical and emotional support, ultimately helping our clients achieve a sustainable position as full members of our society. Many of our clients are destitute, homeless and have no access to assistance from the government. Our mission is to provide access to advice and essential services until statutory services are in place.

The Drop-In provides an opportunity for refugee clients to come and discuss any issues they have and to be listened to by one of our volunteers. Many of our clients are likely to have lived here for a while but an issue or crisis in their lives means that they need to discuss it and seek some help. They may also be in the process of seeking asylum. We can provide advice and sometimes resolve their issue there and then and at other times we refer them to another agency or invite them to come back once their issue has been looked into.
The Drop-In Centre could not function without our team of committed volunteers, and we are always looking for additional help.
Full training given on starting the role as well as regular training sessions and continual support from more experienced volunteers.

· Help with filling in forms and interpreting official documents.

Prison-based volunteers are the backbone of Fine Cell Work (FCW). Supported by the Fine Cell Work programmes team and by other staff at the FCW office, they teach and administer FCW stitching groups in prisons.
Prison volunteers work in teams to organise classes and teach our stitchers, as well as providing groups information to the prison and to the FCW office. The precise mix of skills will vary from prison to prison.
Volunteering in prison for Fine Cell Work requires ideally a good level of needlework skill (or a willingness to learn), some teaching experience and/or experience of working with socially-excluded groups. Volunteers must be patient and non-judgemental in order to work effectively.

The Family Bereavement sessions - What we do
We run sessions for bereaved families, offering three different age groups which are tailored around different developmental needs for 4-7-, 8-12- and 13–18-year-olds.
These Family Bereavement sessions currently have four components:
- An assessment with an allocated support worker to provide information and assess eligibility.
- An online parent information session for parent/carers to provide guidance and support in preparation for attendance at the bereavement session and to answer any questions or concerns.
- A social activity for families to meet and engage prior to the bereavement session.
- One Saturday Family Bereavement Session bringing families together (typically from 9am-3.30pm). These sessions will mostly be delivered as a family, with an hour in the afternoon where children and parents meet separately.
The Family Bereavement Sessions currently take place in Reigate but could be run from other locations in our catchment area across Surrey, parts of West Sussex and Kent.
The Social Event will be at a convenient location for the participating families which will be agreed with them. This is usually held on a Tuesday or Wednesday after school for the 8-12 and 13-18 groups and on a Saturday for the 4–7-year-olds.
How we ask you to help with groups:
We ask that volunteers can commit to the following aspects of the family bereavement session delivery – online session, social activity and Family Bereavement Session.
During delivery, you will be required to assist the Support Workers in the delivery of the activities and to support the children, young people and parents/carers to engage. Various activities are run at the family bereavement sessions - such as making salt jars, memory boxes and other craft activities, etc.
Additionally, volunteers would be expected to serve teas and coffees, wash up and support the setting up and delivery of the activities.,
Social events- What we do
We provide different social events and activities throughout the year to help bring children and young people in a similar situation together. This helps bereaved families and those facing the death of a loved one to have an opportunity to connect as a family and create special memories.
It also allows children and young people to know that they are not alone and to meet with others who are grieving or facing the death of a loved one. Research shows that social connections and social support is important for health and well-being.
How we ask you to help with social events:
To help the Support Workers in the delivery of the events and to connect and engage with children, young people and their families in attendance.

The team consists of nurses, doctors, heath care assistants, social workers, occupational therapists, complementary therapists and physiotherapists.
We need a team of volunteers, who are comfortable with driving, to support us with collections and deliveries. Volunteers will need to agree to be part of a WhatsApp group for volunteer drivers.

· Dropping off medication to patients - directly from the team at St Christopher’s or picking up prescriptions from a chemist first.
· Dropping off other resources such as ‘Just In Case’ boxes to patients.

• Ability to respect others’ differences and choices
• Ability to follow our policies and procedures to keep you, patients and families and staff safe

• This role will require pre-volunteering checks, which may include a DBS Check. Having a criminal conviction will not necessarily prevent you from volunteering with us. We assess each situation on an individual basis
• At St Christopher’s we believe that no volunteer should be out of pocket because of their volunteering. The reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred whilst volunteering will help ensure volunteering is accessible to all.
Commitment to volunteering
Signing up to be a volunteer with St Christopher’s Hospice is a big commitment and requires lots of training and support from the organisation.

A talking newspaper is a simple concept: articles from a printed newspaper are read out loud into a recording (memory stick or app) for the benefit of those who cannot do this for themselves - e.g. blind or partially sighted or anyone who finds reading a newspaper difficult.
Lothiansound is a small Scottish registered charity based in Edinburgh, run entirely by volunteers, funded by donations, and managed by a Committee of Trustees. With the publisher's permission, we produce a weekly audio edition of articles selected from the “Edinburgh Evening News”. This is distributed by returnable memory stick inside a returnable wallet. New Listeners are sometimes referred to us by SSI agencies, or they can self-refer on request.
Lothiansound’s Listeners are mainly in the Edinburgh area, but might be anywhere in the UK (and sometimes beyond) and receive this service completely free of charge. We know that our Listeners appreciate us hugely, because they regularly tell us so!
Your SECRETARY role would be to assure the Charity’s handling of administrative matters, including:
- Prepare Agendas and Minutes of Committee Meetings (currently on Zoom) – six meetings per year.
- Prepare Agenda, Notice and Minutes of Annual General Meeting (currently on Zoom).
- Maintain Register of Operating Policies.
- (In association with Chair & ViceChair) Maintain existing good relationship with the landlord of our physical office (in an Edinburgh suburb) which is where our weekly admin/copying teams do their stuff with Listeners’ incoming/outgoing wallets.
- Assist (the Treasurer) in preparation of Annual Report and Accounts.
- Be Lothiansound’s nominee with the Charity Regulator (OSCR).
Your (Trustee/Office Bearer) role can be carried out mainly from home, other than ad hoc visits to the office if necessary.. There is no involvement in recording and distributing the audio newspaper unless the applicant wishes to do so.
No professional qualification is needed. Experience of some of the above matters would be advantageous. Requirement for competency with word processing, plus clear and accurate communication skills, and ability to convey documents efficiently by email etc. Occasional need for printing out can occur – e.g. simple A4 sheets for notice boards at the office.
