INDEPENDENT READING GROUP VOLUNTEER (FACE-TO-FACE)
CARAS Youth ESOL Programme – Monday, Wednesday mornings
About CARAS:
Community Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (CARAS) is a registered charity that has been supporting refugees and asylum-seekers since 2002 empowering them to integrate and engage in the local community.
Arriving as an asylum seeker/refugee can be a disempowering experience. Difficulties with language, accessing services and overcoming prejudice are ever-present. As an organisation we are committed to work alongside refugees to overcome those challenges, and to help them build their lives.
We offer group support and targeted support work. We offer a range of activities including: ESOL classes; social and recreational activities such as youth club, drama, trips, and family activities; educational support for young people; and casework and advocacy support.
Our values are at the centre of all our work:
• Kindness: CARAS will nurture all who are part of our community, helping everyone to develop their skills, talents, and interests.
• Justice: CARAS will strive for social justice following a rights-based approach in all our work and challenging instances when rights are not upheld in wider society.
• Empowerment: CARAS works alongside people, recognising and respecting their skills and strengths and striving together for better outcomes.
• ‘With’ not ‘for’: CARAS will put the voices, opinions, experiences and needs of its beneficiaries at the heart of all that we do.
About Youth ESOL:

Volunteers will work with 1-5 students, mostly reading out loud with them or helping them to decode unfamiliar language.

Experienced Garden Volunteer
The beautiful, award-winning Memorial Garden behind the Museum of Brands was established in 1990 as a peaceful oasis for those living with HIV/AIDS and using the hospice and other services provided in this building when it was the London Lighthouse.

· Maintaining and cleaning garden tools and equipment

· A passion for gardening and some hands-on experience (professional or personal)
· Either a trainee gardener, horticulture student, or someone already working in gardening or landscaping or an experienced gardener wanting to give back through volunteer work
· Willingness to carry out practical tasks, including some lifting and ladder work
· Comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions
· A positive, team-focused attitude with good attention to safety
What you’ll gain:
· Valuable hands-on gardening experience in a unique, award-winning setting
· The chance to be part of a friendly, purpose-driven team
· The satisfaction of helping maintain a space that’s deeply meaningful to others
Training and support:
You will first be invited for a meeting with our gardener, Gary. Volunteers are given relevant training for any tasks carried out, opportunities for regular feedback and we remain open to suggestions on how we can improve the volunteer experience.
Availability:
Our garden volunteers currently come in together on a Thursday. However volunteering in the garden can occur on any day while the Museum is open (Monday-Saturday 10-5, Sunday 11-5). We are looking volunteers who can volunteer over a period of at least 3 months. Ideally you will be able to start immediately, although this is not essential.
Expenses:
Travel expenses up to £5 will be paid, with up to an additional £5 for lunch expenses if you are here for over 6 hours.
