We are seeking one or more skilled and confident professionals to join the SAFS team as Practitioners, initially for a fixed term 12 month contract but with potential to renew dependent upon commission and other funding.

SAFS Mentoring Practitioners make a real difference to students struggling in education and their families, helping to identify unmet needs, unlocking practical solutions and rebuilding relationships with schools, leading to greater wellbeing and positive aspirations. You’ll need to be happy working in homes, in schools and in the community to offer time, space and guidance, as well as applying strong knowledge of safeguarding and the local support infrastructure. It’s fast-moving, rewarding work using awareness of emotional wellbeing and health to understand individual needs and circumstances, responding creatively and advocating for the student to be heard.

Operation Christmas Hamper Brief Description of Organisation Our aim is to support vulnerable individuals and families in the community who are experiencing financial difficulties, generally during the seasonal periods, with things like food hampers and gifts. Those affected are referred to us by professionals who have identified their level of need. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Operation Christmas Hamper started in September 2020 in the midst of lock down, my garage was my store room and my front room was where the magic happened. The backstory of this is - I am the service manager for a company (Always Precious) that works with families in crisis and mainly on child protection plans; we work hard to try and get the children to remain with the families rather than be taken into care. So, in 2020 this small 'thing' I set up was a huge success so much so that I crazily did it again in 2021 but on a bigger scale. Our goal is to help vulnerable individuals and families in the community who through different life situations are struggling. These struggles are exacerbated by the current economic climate, leading to people’s declining finances , which are under more pressure around the seasonal periods. The main feature of this is to make luxury Christmas hampers for a family. These are not run of the mill ‘pasta and sauce’ type hampers, they are luxury ones with all the extra goodies that make Christmas special but that are generally expensive - bottles of Ribena, hot chocolate, marshmallows. Squirty cream, jars of Nutella, jams, pickles, Christmas crackers etc On top of this every member of the families that we work with (about 30 currently) has a bespoke Christmas present bought anonymously by a member of the community, wrapped up and signed with love from a Christmas friend. My dream would be to be able to get a gift for every person that we get a referral for although this is a huge task as last year we helped over 1000 people. As a child I couldn't ever get my head around the fact that a child should go without a gift on Christmas Day and I stand by that but also that a parent shouldn't either. Often the gifts we give are the only presents they receive. I hope you agree that that is pretty pivotal stuff! In 2021 Points West covered the article and BBC news - I must admit it was the first time in my life I had been called an angel let alone a Christmas one! Keynsham 'Christmas angel' overwhelmed by generous donations https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-59637612 In 2022 ITV covered the story as well as a video being made by Bristol Rovers and this year me being awarded the ‘Supporter of the year’ at the end of season awards ceremony for the work of Operation Christmas Hamper. 🎄 Operation Christmas Hamper! This hamper appeal has more need now than when I started it in lockdown due to the cost of living crisis. I have a Facebook group with just over 930 members in it and me and my little army really make a difference. Anyone can join the group called Operation Christmas Hamper. We also do toiletry hampers and second-hand good quality toys and gifts as some parents have no money to buy the children anything. This year the plan is again to make the hampers up at the Memorial Ground as Bristol Rovers and Gloucestershire cricket club are backing my appeal. Last year we found having a big space at the Mem made the job so much more effective and swift as the previous two years I did it in my front room! On the day people will come from all directions, mainly my team, with cars and van loads of food and that's where these types of creations are made. Everyone will be in Christmas jumpers and the Christmas music on a loop. The team will deliver the Always Precious hampers but there will be people from the community - schools, churches that will deliver the ones to their referrals. Last year we received 221 referrals and actually made over 330 hampers for local families in crisis, OAP’s, and homeless people.

Previous Job Next Job Charity Description More Trees BANES has been planting trees since 2008, and in 2022 took the bold step to become a registered charity (CIO). We're at an exciting stage of our journey, as we accept larger funding and take on our first paid employees. Responding to the emerging concerns over tree supplies, we're setting up a network of community tree nurseries, where we grow saplings from seed mainly collected in local ancient and semi-natural woodlands. This helps to reduce the region's reliance on imported trees, which have biosecurity risks and a bigger carbon footprint. We have a growing army of volunteers, one paid member of staff so far and a board of Trustees. We are well known in the local area, and have built a solid reputation for the quality of our work, and ability to mobilise the community, and inspire community leaders. Job Description We've been successful in securing funding from Forestry Commission, Tree Council and other grant-making organisations, and are soon to launch a crowd-funder. Our finances are becoming more complicated, and although we're well supported by an accountancy firm, we also require a Treasurer. You will have an opportunity to help us increase our impact as well as provide financial stability. You will become one of the (unpaid) Trustees and through working closely with the Management Committee, you will strengthen our governance by ensuring proper financial policies and procedures are in place. You will also have the opportunity to help us drive the project forward and contribute to building our revenue and funding opportunities. Qualifications You will have a strong understanding of finance and accounting principles, particularly in the context of a small charity. You may hold accountancy qualifications and/or have experience of running your own business. You will have good strategic planning and organisational skills, be friendly, flexible and a team-player. We are looking for a confident and dynamic individual who is not afraid of a challenge. A knowledge of trees is not required, but a passion for nature and the environment will help. Additional information The board of Trustees meet every few weeks, and we arrange occasional 'away sessions' to focus on particular topics and team-working. There are always plenty of general volunteering tasks for those who want to get their hands dirty - these include seed gathering in local woodland, processing seeds at our central hub, weeding and watering in our nurseries. This is an unpaid voluntary position. To find out more or to have an informal chat about the role, get in touch with adam@moretrees.earth .
