• Able to keep people’s personal data safe 

• Able to understand and apply our risk management procedures

• Friendly, helpful and understanding 

• Reliability and a commitment to treat all information in a confidential manner 

• To have a good value base, be open minded and level headed 

• Have the enthusiasm and confidence to represent both us and our values locally and nationally 

When will I be needed?  

• This is dependant on the area you would be supporting 

• This will be varied to suit the days and times you can help and some of the administration of creating fundraising activities will be home based or in a local office 

Location: 

We are looking for fundraising champions in Ayrshire and Renfrewshire

Could you be there for children?

In the average primary school class, at least two children have suffered abuse or neglect.

But thanks to our dedicated volunteers, who visit schools in their local area, we can give those children the confidence to speak out.

You too can change lives by delivering the assemblies and workshops we call Speak Out, Stay Safe. And the sooner you volunteer, the sooner you can make a difference.

Once you’re trained, you’ll be able to empower the children and young people in your community. Giving them knowledge that will help them stay safe from abuse and neglect.

Interested? Then take a life-changing step forward – for you and for children.

About the opportunity

YAH would love it if someone could help out at their charity meetings with taking, producing and circulating the minutes, with support from the Chair. The charity propose to hold 5 main trustee meetings per year along with 10 fundraising committee meetings and 10 meeting where the youth worker role will be discussed. They are very aware that this is a big commitment for one person but would be happy to share the role or if someone was able to take on just one part of the volunteer role suggested.

YAH are a very small friendly team who have been fundraising to support young people with congenital heart disease for the last 5 years. They have recently appointed a youth worker to work on collaboration with the Bristol Heart Institute.

About [email protected]

The charity recognise that 85% of children born with CHD now survive into adulthood.

They aim to offer support, awareness and opportunity to teenagers, young adults (16 to 24) and their families in Gloucestershire (across South Wales and the South West of England), born with complex Congenital Heart Disease (CHD).

They also aim to raise public understanding of complex CHD and its impact on the young person and their family.

These young people battle daily with life limiting and terminal illness. Their emotional health affects their physical health. YAH's support will help enable them to have greater access to life opportunities. Your support will help them achieve this.

They have employed an Adult Cardiac Youth Worker, who will undertake a liaison role between the young person, medical professionals and community provision.

The Youth Worker’s focus will be the young person’s holistic needs and support for their emotional wellbeing.

What are they looking for?

Experience of taking minutes within a meeting setting would be an advantage. Good IT skills. Reliable and efficient.

Practical Considerations

Induction and training will be provided, reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

We need as many volunteers as possible to make this day a huge success and to maximise the funds we raise for our wonderful hospitals. Roles on the day will include anything from marshalling the race route, manning the watt bike station or cheering on runners as they climb the 29 floors of Guy's tower! So, if the thought of taking part in a triathlon sends you racing in the other direction, or if you're a mean multi-tasker or a dab hand at marshalling, WE NEED YOU!

Roles are varied, times are flexible and fun is guaranteed! T- shirts and refreshments will be provided. Please click email [email protected] if you or any of your friends/family would like to come along and support this fantastic event and wonderful cause!
