Well there's been quite a bit of movement on the volunteer front particularly from people offering to become Helpers which is the first step towards becoming a volunteer for those who may require additional support, or not yet fully committed to the Christian faith or our church but never the less want to help in some practical way. Helpers can get involved in cleaning and maintenance, potwash, supporting the volunteer team in Step up making sandwiches, doing laundry or keeping the clothing store tidy ( a never ending task)
We're re- launching Volunteer Supporters - these will be people within your household who's role it will be to support active volunteers. They will be the people you can talk to if you are having any difficulties or have any questions that you don't feel able to tell us about directly. You can also pass on your suggestions & comments about what we are could do better at or any new ideas you have. Expect them to introduce themselves over the next few weeks.
We're improving the strength of our volunteer co-ordination team so that we can offer better support and communicate more effectively with all our volunteers. I've got 2 new assistants to help me with this. Vanessa will look after Volunteer Support and Seb will help me with the admin side of things. Helen will continue to be your contact for theme nights, cafe and chase you up about Neighbourhood Saturdays. Sue Gilbert is still incharge of training and processing applications although we've got Seb helping out with that too.
Hopefully you'll notice some improvements in the support and information we provide to you...
Thinking of volunteering?
Please contact me Jayne Elliott for an informal chat if that would help
Or if you used to be a volunteer but haven't been in for a while and fancy a change then I'm happy to try and find you a role that will fit your needs.
