Previous Job Next Job VOICES is a survivor-led, trauma-informed, and recovery-focused charity for the women of Bath and North-East Somerset and surrounding areas. The charity was founded in 2014 by four women with lived experience of domestic abuse, who found that, beyond crisis interventions, there was minimal support available to those who had experienced abuse for their recovery journey. VOICES are now recognised nationally as offering the ‘gold standard’ in support. They deliver holistic services for women and ensure that the voice of lived experience is included in policy development and research. Through direct service provision and national influencing, which is funded by charitable donations, government grants, and awards from Trusts and Foundations, they are able to give women access to services that meet their needs without stigma or judgment. They are now seeking a new CEO to continue achieving exceptional outcomes for women and securing funding from charitable trusts and foundations. As the most senior staff role at the charity, the successful candidate carries full responsibility for the strategic and day-to-day management and leadership of the whole VOICES team.

Keynsham Action Network Brief Description of Organisation Keynsham Action Network is an experiment. We want to see if this mostly middle class town can find its power and its passion. We are doing this because the world needs people who have come alive. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Keynsham Action Network is an experiment. We want to see if this mostly middle class town can find its power and its passion. We are doing this because the world needs people who have come alive. Keynsham Action Network or ‘KAN’ is the response of a group of Keynsham residents to what we see as a loss of connection and a loss of deep meaning in our culture . Everywhere there is evidence of this: epidemic loneliness in the young as much as the old, socially determined illness overwhelming our health services, young people leaving education unprepared for a life of purpose and achievement, being careless of our natural environment, widespread substance abuse and prisons overflowing with inmates. There is neither a single nor simple answer. And it is certainly not sufficient to pour all our effort into trying to fix the individual problems that confront us. We need to save some of our energy and resources for looking behind these problems towards their deeper causes. This task cannot be left to others. These deeper problems belong to all of us. Nor can we expect individuals to sort out the mess. It requires ordinary people working together. We are social creatures, we all live in a community, often in several communities. It makes sense for the community to be the test bed for change. KAN is a voluntary organisation formed at the end of 2011. It is currently an unincorporated association. We have a steering group of seven local residents who meet every 6-8 weeks to make key decisions about progress and direction. We are supported by an administrator, Jill Herrett, for one day per week. Our members are listed below with a few sentences about each of us. Every steering group member has a particular role in the organisation. Our funding comes from local fundraising in the town (such as donations at events) with support through St Augustine’s Medical Practice in Keynsham and project grants from various generous local funders.

Keynsham and District Mencap Brief Description of Organisation Keynsham and District Mencap Society provides essential social opportunities, clubs, holidays trips and fun activities for people aged 5-75 with learning disabilities and autism. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation K&DMS has only the highest aspirations for what can be achieved and enjoyed by anyone with a learning disability. We want to live in a community where people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included. We provide essential support in the form of a fully inclusive rich program of activities, trips, events, clubs and holidays for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, complex needs and autism, some of whom also have physical disabilities. Our range of weekly clubs include; social clubs for adults and children, music lessons plus concert performances, as well as sports clubs such as football, bowling and general fitness. We organise group holidays, which are so valued, by our members and their families as the only holiday for many people. We provide social opportunities to be involved in their community, learn new skills, meet people and develop friendships just like anyone else. People with a learning disability tend to have smaller social networks and their relationships are not as strong as those of people without a learning disability. Their social networks are often characterised by relationships with support staff and the people they live with. Typically 1 in 3 young people with a learning disability spend less than 1 hour a day outside their homes, which as many of us learned in lockdown is very isolating. Friendships help everyone feel happier, included and valued, enhancing wellbeing. Although friendships are important to people with a learning disability, they tend to have fewer friends and fewer opportunities for socialising than the general population. Having an active social life can help people with a learning disability to feel happier, included and valued. Having friends can also help people with a learning disability to be more confident and independent, and may encourage them to take part in more social activities in the community. In turn, this can improves social attitudes towards learning disability because positive direct contact with people with a learning disability is an effective way of improving understanding of and attitudes towards them. An active social life helps to reduce loneliness and improve mental and physical health and we aspire to this for everyone.
