Activities can be structured or spontaneous, for groups or individuals, and may involve family, friends and the care team, or the wider community. Activities should provide physical, emotional, creative, intellectual and spiritual stimulation for the service users. Activities should take place in an environment that is appropriate to the service users’ needs and preferences, which can include using service users’ apartments, communal areas and the local community. Each unit in McKillop gardens benefits of a communal lounge, dining and kitchen areas, cinema room and tearoom. Outdoor spaces include large landscaped gardens, green houses and verandas on the upper level. Engaging service users in activities beyond routine care is an important factor in the life of McKillop gardens. A choice of activities is important for improving a sense of independence, confidence, positive self-image health and wellbeing for our service users. Activities should provide a sense of purpose for our service users. Not all service users want to be involved in a competitive game of cards or bingo, but you will find some that love reading and wants to be involved in a regular book club or enjoy having a book read to them. You will find service users that enjoyed gardening and want to get involved in a care home gardening group or provide individual support to plant plants or flowers. Service users that enjoy cooking or baking should be encouraged to participate in kitchen activities to give them the opportunity to continue to do what they enjoy and love to feel fulfilled. Service users that enjoy going for the newspapers should be encouraged to go out into the local community to collect the daily papers. Other social activities example you may wish to undertake can include: • Card Games • Bingo • Book Club • Gardening • Flower Arranging • Cooking • Painting, Drawing, Art Classes • Board games • Games Nights • Singing Groups • Entertainment Events • Family Days • Dog Days • Exercise Classes • Afternoon Teas • Birthday Celebrations • Quiz Nights • Outings to local attractions • Cinema experience • Relaxation sessions

CoEL are seeking to recruit volunteers to help organise and facilitate the range of events, training and workshops we offer to carers throughout the year. This programme of events and training aims to increase carer's confidence in their caring role, to encourage engagement in peer support, and to provide an opportunity to take part in enjoyable activities for some welcome respite. With the help of volunteers we hope to expand our reach and the range of events and workshops we can provide. Volunteers will help to organise and facilitate events and training for carers across the year, with a particular focus on activities over Carers Week.

Try new things and decide on the career for you. We offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities which are great for learning about the work of a particular location or role. At the Trust, there’s a role for everyone. Volunteering doesn’t have to be a slog – we’ve got a wide range of projects across Scotland that are suited to all ages. This is a very exciting time. Many local people visit the property regularly for a variety of reasons, it is also a popular stop-off point for a walk, food and beverages or to enjoy the playpark. The property runs a number of successful events throughout the year and we would like to know more about who comes to those events, is it mainly local people or do people come from more further afield? We would also like to know what draws them to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, what is special about it and what else would help the property build and maintain stronger community relationships or perhaps we need to offer different types of events that would appeal to visitors. To find this information out we need to ask people their views and so we are seeking to recruit a small team of Engagement volunteers to help us carry out research at each event who we will support and train to ask those important questions. What’s included in the role? The main part of this role will have you positioned in the Burns Museum when events are happening, interacting with visitors, etc and asking a series of set questions to help the Trust gather vital information about the community needs, aspirations about days experience. Why should I volunteer in this role? Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to meet lots of different people and make new friends. Most of our volunteer roles are flexible and can be tailored to meet your needs. Our volunteer manager will be happy to discuss any help that you might need to volunteer when you first meet up.

Another memory is meeting the family of the Night Watchman who prevented Suffragettes blowing up Burns Cottage in 1914." - Melvyn

Crossroads is a registered charity which has been operating for 37 years in South Ayrshire (although also with a national footprint). We provide a highly needed service in offering a respite service for at home carers. The charity runs with a small office team supported by a team of Care Attendants and over seen by a Management Committee comprising of volunteers who each bring a different set of skills and expertise to aid the operation of the charity. Our next aim is to raise our profile in South Ayrshire and we would gladly welcome the support of volunteers who would like to share our aim and interest by supporting us, as a volunteer fundraiser. Ideally the volunteer would have a sales and marketing background, yet it is not mandatory as the sales pitch can be delivered by one of the committee members. The volunteer fundraiser would support by identifying donors, raising the group's profile, writing applications for funding opportunities, organising events, etc. The group meets on a Tuesday of every second month at 7pm in a meeting room at Biggart Hospital, Prestwick (where the office is located), yet most of the volunteering can easily be done remotely and perhaps meet with the team occasionally as required. Kindly fill in the contact us form on https://crossroads-sa.org.uk/contact.asp and we will get back to you at our earliest.
