Have you been Bereaved by Suicide? Do you have a desire to help other people who have also been Bereaved by Suicide? Are you comfortable listening to the experiences of others? You could be just the person we are looking for. We have self-help support groups across the UK, where you can meet with other people who have been bereaved by suicide and we want to enroll some new volunteers to set up a group in Aberdeen. Typically, our groups meet once a month and last for around 2 hours. Presently many groups are meeting virtually via Zoom but when regulations allow, they will return to Face to Face. They provide an opportunity to listen, to share, to ask questions and to connect with others. Each local SoBS group is run by a team of 3: the group leader and two group volunteers, all of whom have been bereaved by suicide themselves. Between them, they facilitate the session, get the conversation started, make sure everyone has the opportunity to talk if they want to, and generally look out for people and each other. The team also work together to manage the administration, fundraising and communication for the group, sometimes with the help of additional support volunteers. There is no set structure to a session – people are free to talk and listen as they wish. The topics discussed vary from week to week but often includes people sharing their story, how they are feeling, what has happened since their last group visit, questions about coroners and discussions about common challenges such as flashbacks, supporting children or facing neighbours. Many groups also offer a small resource library and can share information about local sources of support.

Help those in need by collecting donations of food and stocking the food store in central Duns, or delivering food by car throughout Berwickshire west of the A1 corridor. Role Description : In the year to end April, Duns Food Bank made 281 deliveries, helping 574 people including 219 children. This represents a major increase in demand compared to the same period in 2020/21. With this increase in workload and the retirement of a number of volunteers, the Food Bank is in urgent need of new recruits. The Food Bank is supported by two teams of volunteers. The Quartermaster’s team collects donated food from drop off points, shops etc. and stocks shelves in the food store, and the Delivery team takes food to clients throughout mid-Berwickshire. As referrals from agencies (e.g. NHS, Social Services, Berwickshire Housing Association etc.) come in, volunteers on the Delivery team go to the food store in Duns and make up boxes according to the needs of the family or individual. They can then contact the client and ask what fresh goods they need, before going to buy these items from a local shop. Currently a pharmacy voucher can also be included with each delivery. This is about dignity, giving people some choice and control over their specific needs. Members of the Quartermaster’s team are expected to be on duty for around one week in seven and work in and around the food store in central Duns. Members of the Delivery team can expect to be on duty for one week in eight or nine. Members of the Delivery team are asked to use their own cars and can claim back petrol costs along with the cost of buying fresh goods etc . If you would like to know more or join one of the Food Bank’s teams please contact dunsfoodbank@gmail.com

Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for our older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated. Drivers take older people to the parties and stay with them to enjoy the get-together. Over time, drivers and older guests get to know each other well and together you will spend many hours full of fun, laughter, and stories. As a tea party driver, you liaise with your group coordinator and take older guests to and from the tea parties each month. Staying at the tea party is part of your role, so it’s much more than being a driver. You will need to have a full, clean, driving license, and either a DBS (in England and Wales) or PVG (in Scotland). You will also need to check that you are covered by your regular motor insurance policy to do this role. Tasks include: Driving one to two older guests using your own car to a tea party venue and returning them home again after the event . Staying at the tea party to help with conversation and serve refreshments. Liaising with the group coordinator to confirm which older guests you will pick up. Informing the group coordinator of any safeguarding concerns or issues you might have. Following all guidance in your driver training modules to ensure that the tea parties are enjoyable, appropriate, and in line with our charitable aims. Completing a driver declaration before your first tea party and on an annual basis.

Volunteering Matters is a volunteering and social change charity. They recognise the potential young people across Clackmannanshire possess. Young people have aspirations and goals like us all – but may not currently have the tools or guidance needed to turn these into a reality. The effects of COVID-19 have seen many young people across Clackmannanshire experiencing social isolation, loneliness, poor mental and physical health and without a ‘Positive Destination’. Equip Mentoring uses the power of volunteers to support young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) or who need additional guidance and support to enter the employment market, further education or training. The Volunteer Mentors will support the young people practically (such as CV writing and interview skills) as well as emotionally (building confidence, resilience, and independence) whilst reducing social isolation and loneliness. The young person and mentor will meet regularly and will set goals and ambitions to develop new skills, knowledge and experience to pursue the young person's chosen pathway. Volunteering Matters asks volunteers to spend 1-2 hours a week with their match. The time period that Mentors support young people will vary depending on the needs and goals of each match, up to 12 months. Volunteering Matters recognise that every young persons journey & needs are different and so the length of match will depend on their needs and ambitions. The organisation's Engagement Manager offers full support and encouragement to mentors and young people, keeping in touch on a regular basis.

Moray Handyperson Services are looking for new DIY-ers to join their team, especially in the Elgin area. Volunteers complete small/minor maintenance jobs that some older or vulnerable people cannot do by themselves in their own homes. Each year, this local charity helps hundreds of people stay safe and independent in their own home. Small jobs can range from changing a light bulb, to fitting curtain rails, from assembling flat-packs, to even doing a bit of decluttering. These jobs usually take less than an hour and you can choose to do a job at a time that is convenient for you. Volunteers are usually matched to a job in their local area, and if you can't help out, that isn't a problem either, as you can say no or yes to a job. Now that's flexible volunteering! Contact them if you think you could part of their volunteer team. How It Works: The MHPS staff receive requests from clients and collect relevant details, usually over the phone. They then find a volunteer who has the skills, is nearby and is available. If the volunteer accepts the job, MHPS send the volunteer all the details they need to do the job. Most jobs require the volunteer to visit the client in the client’s own home. The volunteer first makes a brief assessment to ensure the job is as described and it is safe for them to proceed. Once the job has been carried out, there is usually opportunity to chat with the client to determine if they are well, need support in any other areas. Completion paperwork (easy and quick to do) is returned to the MHPS office.

Although our Active Women session is open to all women a high percentage of our customers are from the BME community. These sessions are intended to provide a comfortable environment for those who would feel uneasy being in the pool supervised by staff members of the opposite sex. We are therefore looking for female volunteers with translator interpreter skills to meet and greet our customers, show them to the changing rooms and poolside.

The swim teacher will work with individuals within the session, working to the individual needs of the customer. A positive experience in a comfortable setting can improve the health and wellbeing of customers as well as building their confidence as they learn a new skill. Translator/interpreter skills would be advantageous.

We are looking for friendly, creative & reliable people in our busy shop to help serve customers, operate the till and prepare, price & display stock. Hospices of Hope is the leading palliative care charity in South Eastern Europe. We think everyone deserves the best possible care at the end of life but in countries like Romania, Serbia and Moldova, many people still die in pain without physical, spiritual or emotional comfort.

This is an opportunity to undertake a satisfying and rewarding role. As part of our team of volunteers, you will provide customer support, whilst working in a friendly atmosphere, providing an extremely useful and appreciated service to the Charity. The role includes: welcoming and assisting customers, customer service and sales service, stock control, sorting donations, hanging and ticketing stock and helping to keep the shop clean and tidy.

If you feel aligned with our vision and purpose, could you be part of leading and setting our strategic direction for our organisation? We need people who can commit the time to attend and prepare for meetings, support the staff team, contribute constructively and creatively to discussion (offering respectful challenge where appropriate), and invest in the future of our community as we approach our 50th anniversary. We particularly welcome people from a diversity of backgrounds.

Many of the people who engage with Simon Community Scotland’s services experience feelings of loneliness, isolation and boredom which can affect their health and quality of life dramatically. This role offers a unique opportunity to be part of our award-winning team in a supportive environment. The service offered by our Community Inclusion Volunteers gives the opportunity for the people we support to engage with a positive, friendly and non-judgemental person on a regular basis; to encourage and motivate them to get involved with activities, access community resources and be supported on a pathway out of homelessness and into employment and/or independent living, as well as having a listening ear. This role involves being a positive part of peoples journeys towards independence. The idea is to assist with improving community integration, resilience, independence and well-being. It’s about acceptance and choice, not about creating dependence. It’s about offering positive and regular contact and easing loneliness. This role aims to provide support to the staff teams in our accommodation and housing focused services by providing the people we support with opportunities to build confidence and self-worth, skills and experience. Specific tasks: Helping to reduce social isolation for the people we support by being present and engaging in the place they call home. Support us by participating in group activities that will assist staff within SCS services and help the people we work with to identify personal strengths, potential and inner resources. Demonstrating life skills to people receiving ongoing support or whose support could be heading towards a close e.g. encouraging them to cook a meal or bake, leading by example. Raising awareness of community services available and, if appropriate and with agreement from the staff team, assisting people to access these services. Participate in all necessary training and guidance and be willing and able to do so. We're currently looking for weekday shifts only. We have six accommodation services looking for Community Inclusion volunteers – two men only in North Lanarkshire, one men only in the east end of Glasgow, two women only in the south side of Glasgow and one women only in Edinburgh. We cannot take male volunteers for the women only services.

Big Hearts’ Memories is a reminiscence project aimed at older people living with dementia or at risk of social isolation. Welcoming participants to the sessions and making them feel comfortable. Talking to participants and encourage conversations around helping with the creation of reminiscence resources used at the sessions.

Aberdeen in Recovery (AiR) was granted Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) charitable status in March this year. We are now looking to find talented, passionate and skilled people to fill some vacant seats on our Board of Trustees to help us grow and develop our innovative and solution focused new charity. This is a unique opportunity to help lay the foundations to ensure AiR has a long-term future as a charity with solid processes in place to ensure it meets its mission of: “To be a bridge from ‘dependence’ to ‘independence’ for the individual seeking to recover from problematic substance use and addictive behaviours”. This is such an exciting and invigorating prospect for individuals to get involved and be participant in the tsunami of change which is now gaining momentum and being driven by “Experts by Experience” and the vibrant Lived Experienced Communities which are blossoming, not only locally but are now established as a national phenomena. Since its conception, AiR and its members have worked tirelessly to establish and build collaborative relationships with professional services and third sector support agencies. We have consistently driven the message that individuals who have personal lived/living experience of active substance use, including Family members who have been affected by the addictive behaviours of a loved one, and the Recovery Communities they represent have something valid, essential and extremely beneficial to bring to described Recovery Orientated Systems of Care (ROSC). We can provide existing services and clinical structural systems with resources, skills and capabilities that they, no matter how much effort, time and money they invest, will never be able to offer or provide. So, it gives the greatest of pleasure to see this is now recognised on the highest levels that “Recoverists” can productively contribute to the design, development and delivery of truly person-centred ROSC. This being evidenced by the vision, philosophy and content of the Scottish Governments “Rights, Respect and Recovery” Drug and Alcohol Strategy. We also believe it is reaffirmed by the recent success in being granted funding from the Government’s National Development Fund, with our principle partner Alcohol and Drugs Action (ADA), for our ‘Recovery Peer Pathway’ joint two-year project. This collaborative venture will build on three years of pilot work to further establish and build proactive and productive Developmental Pathways within ADA and their Volunteer network while in synergy with AiR membership for individuals who desire to initiate change in their behaviours and outlook as they progress on their recovery journeys within, and imperatively out-with, statutory and formal support services. We believe that the blue sky thinking behind this project categorically and emphatically fits with the expectations, outcomes and concepts of the above Government policy. So, if you have lived experience, or a stakeholder interest, and a passion for recovery and are willing to give of yourself that another may learn, you will not find a better opportunity to indulge your appetite than from within Aberdeen in Recovery. For more information please contact Dermot Craig, Recovery Community Development Manager at E Mail: dermot@aberdeeninrecovery.org or tel.: 01224 638342 / Mobile: 07751 213108.
