Community Council Member

Arbroath Community Council
Postcode: DD11 1HB
Members of local community councils act as representatives for their communities. They find out what issues are affecting the local community as a whole and articulate these concerns to Angus Council and its planning partners – NHS, Police, Fire services etc. They play a vital role in representing the views of the community to local authorities and other public bodies. They usually meet once a month to discuss the issues of current concern in their area, particularly major planning applications and steps to improve our local environment. • They contact and are contacted by relevant agencies to put forward the views of the community which involves collating views from members of the community, including individuals, families and groups. • They discuss and negotiate solutions to local issues and concerns. • They attend meetings with relevant groups, liaise with City Councillors and officials. • When necessary they campaign on big issues of local concern. The Arbroath Community Council is currently looking for people of all ages to take part in the council. We would especially like to hear from younger people who would like to take a more active role within their community. Those interested need to reside in the Arbroath area. Meetings are once a month on a Tuesday evening at Round O Five O in Arbroath.

Charity Trustees

Aberdeen in Recovery (AiR)
Postcode: AB25 1BT
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.

Charity Trustee

Arkbound Foundation
Postcode: G42 8DN
Founded in 2017, The Arkbound Foundation is the only independent charity in the UK that is concerned with improving accessibility and diversity within both publishing and journalism. We are a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Number 1173072), and in Scotland (SC049523), with offices in Bristol and Glasgow. We are a small organisation and are now seeking to widen and diversify our trustee board. In particular, we would be very interested if you have experience in business development, previously being a trustee of an organisation, and working with/for people who come from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds. The purpose of a trustee is to generally oversee that a charity delivers its mission (in the interests of the general public) and that it functions well. Being a trustee is an important volunteer role that has a great responsibility, as well as unmatched opportunities to develop insights into high-level strategy, delivery of charitable work, management skills and transferable knowledge to a range of other careers. The recommended minimum hourly commitment of a trustee is 8 hours per month; however, this is flexible and many of our existing trustees do less, whilst some choose to do more. Meetings take place at least every two months and participation can be remote. What's in it for the volunteer? We play a vital role in expanding publishing to a more diverse range of voices and have made a unique difference to British publishing by providing access to less orthodox opinions and views on British social and political issues. By taking on the role of trustee, you would be helping manage an organisation that is making a significant difference to this field of work. If you are interested please click the ‘apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). The coordinator will then contact you by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow on 0141 226 3431.

Zero Waste Aberdeen
Postcode: AB11 5YU
We are a young democratically run organisation that needs to grow. At the moment we are a small group working at projects that reduce waste and we intend that Aberdeen and Shire become zero waste areas. That is, that everything we use becomes part of a circular economy and is not discarded needlessly to be tipped or burned. Currently, our main projects are :- *Go Green Café *Trash to Treasure *Men's Sheds *Planting Fruit Trees for Community Benefit These worthy projects are undertaken alongside family and work commitments but we need to do more if we are to make inroads to the waste we generate each day. That presents exciting opportunities for volunteers. Our next step then, is for more 'Trustees' to join with us to take on an officer of the board role, or to become an ordinary member and help steer the way forward to a successful reduction of waste to zero. If you’re/for more information then please do get in touch with Brian Allan at email brianaltenscc2@gmail.com or tel.: 07751275757.

Are you interested in supporting people to be engaged in their local community? Do you have a background or interest in supporting a local organisation with their financial responsibilities? Are you looking for ways to support people get the best out of life? And help them learn, grow and make friends? This volunteer opportunity could be for you! The Friends Shed is for people aged 18- 35 years old who need one to one support in their daily lives and are looking for an opportunity to meet others for shared activities and experiences. We meet twice and week in Lanark and Hamilton and share many activities together where we can learn, have fun and get to know one another. We started in June 2022 after a long time planning what we wanted to see. We were successful in getting funding for 6 months which has allowed us to employ 2 people to run the sessions in conjunction with our Chair who is the inspiration behind the Friends Shed. We know there is a need for the Friends Shed – we know that people who need a higher level of support have limited opportunities in Clydesdale. We are trying to do something about that! We operate with a small committee with a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and a couple of ordinary members. We really need someone who can be our Treasurer. Having similar experience would be helpful – but we are learning together as a committee – so having a genuine interest in supporting people is more important. We meet every month for around 2 hours and have occasional correspondence in between meetings for any business that cannot wait until the next meeting.

Swap-with-me’ Bus Training Session Helper

Royal National Institute of Blind People
Postcode: EH15 2NJ
Bus travel can be a lifeline for blind and partially sighted people. Many rely on buses to go about their day to day business. Buses help people with sight loss to maintain their independence as they are unable to drive, and taxis can be expensive for everyday journeys. That is why RNIB Scotland has been working with bus companies to ensure that drivers are aware of what makes a good journey from the perspective of someone who is blind or partially sighted. The sessions are called ‘Swap with Me’ and discussion is led by members of the blind and partially sighted community. There is also a practical element to the sessions with drivers and RNIB Scotland participants getting a chance to experience what a bus journey is like from each other’s point of view. RNIB is currently working with Lothian Buses in Edinburgh and volunteers are needed to make sure the sessions run smoothly and provide sighted guiding to facilitators. Volunteers will help guide the discussions and when required offer guided support to the participants. Training and support will be offered as part of RNIB’s volunteer induction process. Reasonable expenses will be available to fulfil the role.

Board Members

Beyond Earlston
Postcode: TD1 1BT
We are looking to replace losing a board member due to ill health, but would ideally like to replace them with two people. From a skills audit the board would like to attract someone who has a business background who can bring support and advice in relation to social enterprise, to give advice and assistance on how we can generate our own income and be less reliant on grants, although we are at present financially secure. We would also be interested in bringing on board someone with a media background for our publicity and marketing both to support and advise on the planned re-branding of the organisation to be more inclusive, but anyone with an interest in young people and developing services in the area would be welcome. We are also in the final stages of finalising our strategic plan and this will support the direction of the organisation over the next 3 years, so this is quite an exciting time to be part of Beyond Earlston . The meetings are held in Earlston, but we travel around so that board members can see the groups in each location as well as meet with the volunteers and staff. We have our Volunteer Friendly award and offer a comprehensive induction to the organisation to ensure that we are inclusive. We are happy to meet with anyone who is interested in finding out more and ask questions from the other board members before any commitment is made.

Public Involvement Partnership Group Volunteers

Health Services Research Unit (HSRU)
Postcode: AB25 2ZD
At the Health Services Research Unit (HSRU), University of Aberdeen, we're passionate about making our research both useful and easy to understand. We strive for excellence in everything we do, and a big part of that is including patients and the public in our work from the very beginning. We believe this helps us focus on research questions that really matter to people like you. Right now, we're looking to welcome three new members into our group. The primary purpose of this group is to share their perspective on what we do here at the research unit. Your viewpoint is invaluable to us! We get together roughly six times a year. Usually, we meet face-to-face, but occasionally we meet online if that's easier for everyone. Apart from these meetings, we ask the group for help with special tasks from time to time, like checking over our written materials to make sure they're easy for everyday people to understand. You may also have chances to join in on specific studies as part of the team. You'll get to hang out with a friendly group of people, have engaging chats, and meet our diverse team made up of different kinds of experts. And don't worry, we'll cover any costs you might have for helping us out and we'll also give you a little thank-you payment for your time at the end of the year. To join our group, here's what you need: • You should be interested in health services research. In other words, you're curious about how we can improve healthcare. • You should live in the Grampian area. • You should be able to travel to Aberdeen for our meetings. • You should be able to use emails. But that's not all. We're especially keen to include people who haven't always had the same advantages as everyone else. Maybe you've had a tough time because of health problems, disability, race, gender, financial struggles, or more. Or maybe you support someone who's had these experiences. Reach out to Dr Magda Rzewuska-Díaz if you're interested! You can email her at hsru-ppie@abdn.ac.uk or give her a call at 01224 438148. She'd be more than happy to chat with you and answer any questions you might have. This is a great opportunity, and we can't wait to hear from you!

The Community toilets, an integral part of Biggar Corn Exchange, have been managed by a small volunteer Working Group since 2015.

The appreciation of the community and visitors makes it a rewarding volunteer activity. Some of the Working group members have been involved since 2015, and feel that it is time to step back. We are seeking some replacements within the next few months. The Working Group (WG) is a sub-committee of Biggar Corn Exchange (BCE). It currently comprises a Chair, two BCE trustees and four others. We employ professional cleaners, but WG members carry out the following operational activities: • Ordering, receiving, storing and stock-checking consumable items (toilet paper, cleaning materials disinfectant, etc). • Emptying cash from the automatic door (twice weekly) and honesty box; counting and banking takings. • Checking facility daily for cleanliness and vandalism • Locking facility and switching off lights at end of each day. • Planning any late opening (e.g. at New Year) • Collecting, emptying and replacing collecting boxes from numerous shops and premises around the town. Counting and banking the donations. • Maintaining budget vs actual spreadsheets We are very happy to chat to potential volunteers, and provide more detail about how they could become involved in supporting essential facility.

Nemo Arts
Postcode: G1 5HZ
Founded in 1998, Nemo Arts (Formerly Theatre Nemo) has been at the forefront of providing high-quality, participatory arts activities that support people in recovery from poor mental health, for 25 years. We have pioneered work with children and families of prisoners, young carers, adults in psychiatric units, prisoners, and people in communities. We deliver a range of services using artistic disciplines including music, drama, and visual art. Research has shown that participation in the arts improves the mental health and wellbeing of participants, whatever the current state of their mental health. Our work helps people achieve positive outcomes such as increasing confidence and self-esteem, providing opportunities to increase creative and life skills, and reducing isolation. The creative arts have the potential to improve the quality of life and give people a new positive identity. Our mission is to support people in recovery from poor mental health, and we aim to: • Improve people’s mental health and wellbeing • Improve knowledge and understanding of mental illness in the community • Reduce stigma and isolation associated with poor mental health The people who use our service are adults experiencing poor mental health, there is a huge spectrum of poor mental health, and all are welcome within our service. The majority, around 80%, of referrals we receive are from NHS Mental Health services. Other referrals are received from Social Work and other 3rd sector services with a small portion of people self-referring to our service. The Role: As a trustee, you will be responsible for the charity’s governance and strategy. This includes making sure the charity is appropriately financed, and that Nemo Arts complies with all relevant rules. We expect all trustees to act in the interests of the charity, by applying skill and care in the application of their duties as well as operating in a manner consistent with Nemo Art's purpose. In practical terms, we ask that trustees attend four board meetings per year, the annual general meeting, and one strategy day per year. There are many other opportunities to be involved in including attending services and events. Experience Required: We are recruiting for additional trustees to complement our board, we are also recruiting for a treasurer. As treasurer, you will have good skills and expertise in financial compliance, finance, budgets, forecasting, and income generation. In addition, we would like you to have the ability to scrutinize and present the financial report at our annual general meetings. Underpinning these requirements are good interpersonal and communication skills, a commitment to working as a team, an understanding of and commitment to our charity’s work, a broader knowledge of trends across the third sector, and the application of those to strategic work. In return, we can offer the satisfaction of helping fellow citizens overcome barriers in their lives by joining a committed and collaborative board. Time Commitment: Our meetings are held every quarter either online or at our offices in Glasgow. They usually start around 1:00 pm and finish around 3:00 pm. Dates are set well in advance. Ad-hoc meetings take place outside of formal governance, which all trustees are expected to attend. The time you provide to our charity will be a valuable commitment in helping those who are amongst the most vulnerable across our society. If you are interested please click the ‘apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). You will then be contacted by the coordinator by email. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided.
