Golden-Oldies Charity Brief Description of Organisation Now in its 13th year and more commonly known simply as “GOLDIES," our founder is the highly respected Bath-based musician Grenville Jones who recognised how singing and music, brightened the lives and wellbeing of the many people across his choirs. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Now in its 13th year and more commonly known simply as “GOLDIES," our founder is the highly respected Bath-based musician Grenville Jones who recognised how singing and music, brightened the lives and wellbeing of the many people across his choirs. Grenville himself took the first daytime singing and activity sessions in sheltered housing community rooms in and around Bath back in 2007. There are now 225 fun daytime sessions in community rooms, church halls and libraries across England and Wales - taken by 70 dedicated freelance leaders. Grenville is always anxious to point out however that the charity he started, GOLDIES is NOT a choir, but singing the popular memory-evoking hits of the 60s and onwards lies at the heart of all it does. GOLDIES recognises the issues of loneliness amongst the increasing older population. It gives vulnerable people a REASON to get out, to be with others, laugh, sing out, and to make new friends. The ethos of this Charity is very simple - it is to give people something to look forward to, a REASON to get out of their homes and be with others. This can be the monthly singing session in a sheltered housing community room or in a local church or community hall . It could be a trip to the local school as part of the Time after Time project, a concert or a visit to meet and sing with another Goldies session. The songs are carefully chosen and based on the well known sing-along his of the 50s, 60s & 70s. They encourage people to clap in rhythm to the music, tap their feet, smile and more often that not ... get up and dance! Bring me Sunshine – Summer Holiday – Magic Moments – Downtown - Hi Ho Silver Lining and many more. If you are reading this from elsewhere in the UK and are wondering how Golden-Oldies can be introduced in your area then we would like to hear from you. Please email Emma and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We are only a small team but we are growing thanks to the support from many Trusts and commercial sponsors.

Previous Job Next Job Information for Tenderers 1) Volunteers are a vital and key part of our workforce. We currently have approximately 100 volunteers in our workforce who play a valued and critical role in helping us to achieve our charitable aims. However, there is a perception that over recent years the numbers of volunteers has fallen; both in terms of the absolute number and the amount of time they give to the Institution. More specifically, we are finding it increasingly difficult to find volunteers willing and able to take on ‘convenor’ roles (organising talks and events) and ‘management’ roles; for example we recently had to use the services of a head-hunter to find a new Treasurer as no one in our existing workforce was interested or willing to take on the role. We also have struggled to diversify our workforce, which remains predominantly white and over 65. Additionally, the number of women in senior roles is still too low. 2) Volunteer roles within BRLSI are extremely varied. Positions range from front desk to digital marketing, from curatorial roles through to Chair roles across a variety of committees. Recruitment & successful retention requires a range of approaches across the roles. 3) As a result of these challenges, there is increasing pressure to recruit paid staff to fill critical roles within BRLSI. These paid staff inevitably increase our cost base and make achieving breakeven more and more difficult. 4) This may in part be due to a macro change in working practices – with less middle managers retiring early with defined benefit pension schemes, looking for volunteer roles that can provide fulfilment and keep minds active. 5) Going forward therefore, if we wish to increase the size of audiences and range of activities, we will need to underpin these aspirations by increasing the size of our volunteer pool significantly and develop approaches to aid management succession. 6) To achieve this we are specifically looking at recruitment, role specification, volunteer satisfaction and day to day management of the volunteer workforce. A professional contractor is now sought to help us enhance our approach to recruiting and retaining volunteers (and roll out this approach) by undertaking: a) A full audit of current volunteers and their roles and satisfaction across the volunteer workforce b) Researching other charity volunteer schemes to establish best practices and useful initiatives c) Reviewing the current approach to recruitment and retention of volunteers and workforce needs to identify current gaps and weaknesses d) Setting out recommendations on how we can improve our approach to recruiting and retaining a more diverse pool of satisfied, committed & fulfilled volunteers e) Undertaking a two month pilot, working with our current staff to build the proposition & recruit additional members to our volunteer pool; including: i) Creating materials and resources using desktop publishing platforms such as Carva that can be used to attract a diverse pool of volunteers ii) Reviewing and revising our online and other promotional approaches and resources (e.g. the volunteer webpage) to make sure we have the right systems and resources in place to attract more volunteers iii) Drafting detailed volunteer specs and promoting them widely on various platforms inc. volunteer bureau, universities and any websites attracting volunteers and / or trustees. iv) Visiting major companies, universities, and institutions to talk about what we do and how people there might want to get involved; forge partnerships with organisations e.g. some may grant day release to people wanting to volunteer, or some may want to help with digital marketing etc. v) Work with Bath Spa University to identify and brief a student intern to continue work of pilot for a further three months. 7) Using learnings from the pilot project the contractor will advise on or develop tools and guidance that enable continuation the Volunteer Recruitment & Development project. Specifically; i) Advising on and developing recruitment strategies for the variety of volunteer roles at BRLSI. ii) Developing the proposition for volunteers at BRLSI including induction, benefits, social activities, partnerships with other charitable organisations iii) Assessing & advising on tools that could be used to help ongoing coordination & management of volunteers iv) Creating a ‘best practice’ handbook outlining the BRLSI volunteer proposition and providing clear written guidelines for staff to ensure long term success of the programme v) Implementing guidelines & training staff to enable the long term development of the Volunteer proposition by BRLSI staff To train the staff and / or volunteers as needed and produce a guidance note on approaches to be followed in future < All Jobs Volunteer Proposition & Development Contract Salary: £10,000 Hours: 6 month contract (Flexibility on time) Contract Type: Flexible Location: Hybrid: Bath & Remote Working Close Date: Thursday, 30 May 2024 Email Contact: james.hamilton@brlsi.org < All Jobs Previous Job Next Job Apply for Job

"Amazing music in a relaxed atmosphere" pretty much sums up Music for Miniatures. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation With two young children of her own, professional oboist and pianist Julie Payne felt there were no opportunities to take her children to local concerts where it didn't matter if her 18 month old wandered around and her 4 year old asked loud questions. Music for Miniatures was 'born' in 2014 to give parents and carers a chance to enjoy high quality live classical in the company of their babies/toddlers/pre-schoolers without having to worry about wriggly bottoms, crawling around or the odd squeal. "Amazing music in a relaxed atmosphere" pretty much sums up Music for Miniatures. Julie believes that children should be exposed to high quality, live music from a very early age and that concert-going should be as common as swimming lessons for young children to help inspire them, encourage creativity and help them to listen with open ears. Music for Miniatures started in 2014, became a CIC in 2016 and a CIO and Registered Charity in 2019. We are proud to provide live music for children and families across the south west region and beyond. Music for Miniatures is for YOU and your little one. It is a series of short live concerts specifically designed for parents, grandparents and carers to enjoy in the company of babies, toddlers and young children (aged 0-4). Performed by professional musicians, we showcase a huge variety of music and instruments with classical music, folk, world and jazz. And yes, you'll love it! The best thing about a Music for Miniatures concert is… we don’t mind noise! Babies can sleep, cry, babble and crawl whilst toddlers are free to and enjoy in their own way without being told to “ssh”. Older little ones can dance, play air-instruments and we don’t even mind if the audience needs a nap! We know that it can be difficult to find something everyone can enjoy together. Our concerts leave the participation up to you. You can sit and snuggle or get up and dance. There's no pre-learnt routines/songs and definitely never any 'Wheels on the bus"! At a Music for Miniatures concert you can experience the magic of live music with your little one and enjoy it together.

We know that the pastoral value inherent in spending time with older people is needed by many children and young people, and intend rebuild the role of our elders as integral and cherished members of our communities. The charity trains and supports ‘GrandFriend’ volunteers to give their company to younger people as part of innovative new programmes, including lunch time visits, a gardening club and library sessions at a local primary school in Oldfield Park. The GrandFriends volunteers have have the time to play, chat and listen to the pupils. Each volunteer is given training and support in safeguarding, child protection and more, and this combined with the perspective and experience which comes with age makes the GrandFriends excellent company. GrandFriends has been devised as a joined-up response to a set of problems which are contributing to a disconnect between elders and younger people which we are describing as 'intergenerational loneliness'. By giving the GrandFriend volunteers the agency to address this we hope that they themselves benefit from increased feelings of value, purpose and respect.
