Previous Job Next Job About FareShare South West FareShare South West (FSSW) is the region’s biggest food and environment charity. With warehouses in Plymouth and Bristol, we join the dots between food waste and hunger. We rescue good, surplus food from farmers, retailers, and other food companies, and deliver it to charities, food banks and schools across the South West. Once there, it’s made into food parcels and used to produce healthy, delicious meals for people that are struggling to get by. We’re a lifeline for tens of thousands of people in our region. We do this with help from our volunteers who give their time for free to sort food in our warehouses and deliver it to charities. In return, we work with volunteers to provide them with a supported, meaningful experience that meets their needs, whether through our main volunteering programme or via FareChance, our youth-led employability programme. During 2021, FSSW piloted our first employability programme to enhance and expand our support to the community.

Young people learn skills and gain qualifications which are transferable to a number of desirable industries.

They will have experience of supporting young people to find their next step and can bring these skills to co-design, co-deliver, and co-evaluate FareChance. They will understand the benefits of taking a holistic approach to support and identify when working with partner organisations is needed.

Previous Job Next Job Headway Bath & District - a brain injury charity is appealing for volunteers to join their brand-new board of trustees and help support some of the most vulnerable people in society. Carla Snell at Headway Bath & District said: “We are entering an exciting new chapter and are now in the novel position of being able to recruit an entire board of trustees! This is a pivotal moment for the charity; we can’t wait to get started with building our new board and making positive steps forward." “The role of trustee is a voluntary one and as a member of the board you will play a vital role in guiding the vision of the charity, whilst seeing the direct impact you have on the lives of those affected by brain injury.” The charity is keen to hear from people with a background in business, fundraising, commissioning, public relations, marketing, social media, finance, social care, and with clinical experience in the field of brain injury. However, those with other skills that would complement its boards are also encouraged to apply. “There is often a lot of confusion around what it means to be a trustee.” Carla continued. “Many people think they are not experienced enough, old enough or skilled enough to take on this role, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Headway Bath welcomes both experienced trustees and people who are interested in becoming one for the first time.” “We are looking for people with a diverse range of skills and experiences who could really help make a difference to the lives of those with brain injury. We want to bring in committed professionals with lots of passion, enthusiasm, and new ideas.” “Trustees are in the unique position to really blaze a trail and it’s a very important and creative role.” Those applying to be trustees should expect to attend either monthly or bi-monthly board meetings, and local networking/promotional events. Trustees should also expect to occasionally visit the day services to meet clients, staff, and volunteers. Trustees must be aged 18 and over. Trustees will be offered support, training, and networking opportunities through Headway’s national and local networks.

Previous Job Next Job How we brighten lonely lives Our Goldies sessions are fun social groups aimed at older isolated adults, where people come together to sing-along to the popular memory evoking music of the 50s onwards, stretch, smile and laugh. These uplifting daytime sessions bring joy and offer all important opportunities for people to create supportive friendships and links to their local community. It is important to understand that ‘Goldies’ is NOT a choir, our sessions are based on fun times where singing is at the heart, but smiling is the reason. Cliff Richard is Patron. As a Goldies Session Leader you are responsible for providing and assisting in the development of our fun inclusive Sing&Smile sessions. Leaders will have a love of music, an enthusiastic personality with empathy and patience for those attending sessions and a commitment to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable people from local communities. The majority of those attending Goldies sessions across England and Wales are people aged over 60. However since the charity started in 2007 the profile of those attending has changed quite considerably. Many people who attend are fairly active and able but in recent years the number of people attending who are living with dementia has increased as well as attendees with Learning Difficulties, their carers and people with mental health issues. As a Leader you will involve everyone attending in the sessions, listening and adapting the session to suit participants mood or need through the fun sing-a-long style session. Your role is one of the most important ones within our charity as you will be the ‘face’ of Goldies and as more and more sessions are added, one of a team of over 40 leaders across England and Wales. What makes a great Goldies Leader? When asked about Session Leaders, Chief Officer Grenville Jones often replies; ‘There is an obvious comparison between leading a Goldies session and being an entertainment officer at a holiday camp! It is that ability to stand in front of a group of people, to engage with them, understand their needs and make them leave the session looking forward to the next one.’ Our Leaders are provided with a full set of equipment including an iPod and songbooks, or an iPad and projector and full training. Leaders can run one session per month or as many as they can fit in. Goldies sessions take place on the same day of the month - 1st Tuesday or 3rd Monday for example - and either morning or early afternoon. Session leading is an excellent way of supporting your local community, if you're interested in the role please contact Emma at the Goldies office on 01761 470006 or email emma@golden-oldies.org.uk < All Jobs Sing & Smile Session Leader Salary: £25 per session plus 40ppm mileage allowance Hours: 1.5 hours per session Contract Type: Part Time, Freelance Location: Community Centres / Church Halls / Sheltered Housing across B&NES Close Date: Thursday, 31 August 2023 Email Contact: emma@golden-oldies.org.uk < All Jobs Previous Job Next Job Apply for Job

St Michael's Church Brief Description of Organisation St Michael’s is a local Anglican church in Twerton, Bath with a heart to see God’s river of transformation flow through the church, Twerton and beyond. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation St Michael’s is a local Anglican church in Twerton, Bath with a heart to see God’s river of transformation flow through the church, Twerton and beyond. We are at the end of Twerton High Street just past the glorious Full Moon Pub. Can’t miss the building really… The number 5 Bus stops just on the corner. As has been said repeatedly before, the church is not the building but the people – so in actual fact you can ‘find us’ all over the place in Twerton We believe God wants church to operate as family and he invites His family on His mission to share the news with everyone in Twerton that Jesus changes lives. We encourage everyone to join a smaller ‘family on mission’ that we call missional communities. These communities each have a different focus to reach a specific pocket of people. We currently have the following Missional Communities: Roots (exploring the roots of Christianity) Twerton Central (loving local Twerton residents) Families (modelling kingdom family across the generations) Missional Communities meet on 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month at various times & locations. Contact us if you’d like to join a community. In addition to our services and other community activities, we run two major programmes in Twerton to assist the needy in the area: The Rose Cottage Community Hub and the Lighthouse Project. Rose Cottage Hub Situated on the High Street, right in the heart of Twerton, Bath, Rose Cottage Community Hub was built in the 1830s as a gift to St Michael’s Church. Since then it has served as a residence for churchwardens, parish officers and curates. In the 1990s, the ground floor of Rose Cottage was converted into a Community Centre and the Centre dramatically expanded its work in the community. Today, Rose Cottage Community Hub is an organisation which intentionally seeks to be an agent of change and facilitator of community cohesion. Rose Cottage Community Hub offers services and opportunities which support the development and quality of life of people living in Twerton and surrounding areas. We do this by operating a community cafe and garden; running family-specific events to encourage healthy family life; making rooms available for hire; acting as a signpost to other service providers; providing opportunities for people to volunteer and by operating a Foodbank distribution centre. Lighthouse Lighthouse is a drop in centre helping light the way ahead with free hot food & drink, food parcels, and by connecting you to other local agencies to help you with what you need. We can provide: Hot food and drink Food parcels Access to the local agencies and support Free internet Free use of a printer Help with homework and study Lighthouse drop-in is open every Monday from 2 – 4pm at Rose Cottage, High Street, Twerton.

We are proud to now be Oasis Church Bath, and Oasis Hub Bath! This means we’re both a church and a charity. The Oasis vision is for community – a place where everyone is included, making a contribution, and reaching their God-given potential. We have been pioneering sustainable, holistic community development for 35 years. We work in many communities affected by inequality that impacts all areas of life. So we work in a joined-up way across our communities to create change – economically, socially, physically, spiritually; in education, housing, justice, health, youth, and family support; with people of all ages and in all situations. We believe that things can change. Where systems leave communities disadvantaged we’re bold about pioneering alternatives and trying new things. We’re not satisfied with the status quo where it keeps people trapped in poverty, or constantly at risk of exclusion. Oasis is driven by the passionate belief that each human being is uniquely valuable and of equal importance. We all have something to bring, and we all need each other. We call the ‘O’ in Oasis our ‘Circle of Inclusion’. Everyone matters. Everyone belongs. And because we’re committed to inclusion, we’re committed to ending inequality, injustice, and exclusion wherever and however we can. We hope our values and our ethos are felt whenever someone encounters Oasis, permeating everything we do.
