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.

At MCR Pathways, we know that all young people are talented. However, our country’s care-experienced and young people who have experienced disadvantage face challenges beyond their control that make it more difficult for them to succeed. These young people are in our communities but we don’t always see their struggles. As a community, we can change this. We recruit and train volunteer mentors who are matched with a young person based on personality, hobbies and career aspirations. Mentors meet with their young person at their school for just one hour a week and provide a compassionate, listening ear. You can mentor in all 30 Glasgow secondary schools, so don't hesitate to sign up today! MCR Mentors: • Build a relationship, improving the self-esteem of their young person • Help their young people discover their passion for learning & achieving • Empower their young people to overcome the challenges thrown at them Education is the key to unlocking our young people’s potential. Our volunteer Mentors are supported every step of the way as they guide their young person onto a positive pathway. No experience is required and full training is given. A PVG (protecting vulnerable groups scheme) will be required before mentoring. This will be discussed in your onboarding process and is free of charge to obtain. How to become a Mentor Once you register your interest online at https://mcrpathways.org/become-a-mentor/ or click the 'Apply' button below, you’ll be invited to attend an Information Session. The MCR Pathways Central Team will take you through the programme in more detail and you’ll meet other fantastic volunteers who are ready to change young lives!

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.

You might be reading to someone, chatting about their memories or helping the person you are with to engage with other activities going on in the care home. This is likely to be taking place in the early afternoon, and you will be part of an exciting new project we are trialing to make sure people who live in a care home are supported and provided with companionship on days when they don't always have a visitor. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys meeting new people and has great conversational skills. This is also an opportunity to be part of a new approach to supporting care home residents.

Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust is a community-led organisation, established in 2004 by local people, to rescue the semi-derelict historic building from proposed demolition.

Cancer Support Scotland first began 40 years ago, in the cosy living room of Sir Kenneth Calman. Now in our new home amidst the leafy grounds of Gartnavel Hospital and we’ve worked hard to make sure things don’t feel a whole lot different. The Calman Centre was created as a safe space, helping everyone we support to feel at ease and in control. Where better then, than in a giant living room - where family and friends are welcome, and the kettle is always on. As Scotland’s cancer charity, we have been the wellbeing champions for those affected by cancer for over 40 years – not only for those diagnosed, but their loved ones and carers too. We deliver high-quality counselling, complementary therapy and stress management services to promote mental and physical wellbeing and to enable those affected by cancer to continue to live the most active life possible in their community. It's important to us that you feel happy, safe, confident and supported in your role. You will receive a full induction to Cancer Support Scotland including information about the history of the charity as well as Cancer Awareness. You will also be given an initial introduction and regular support from the Volunteer Coordinator to ensure you feel confident to undertake your role effectively. You will not be expected to have prior knowledge or experience; your supervisor will work with you to make sure you have all the tools you need and provide guidance. We're looking for Event Volunteers to help with event assistance and coordination. Event Assistance: Be an integral part of our organised fundraising events, offering support and ensuring their smooth execution. Your involvement will contribute to the success of our and our third partner community events.

Cancer Support Scotland first began 40 years ago, in the cosy living room of Sir Kenneth Calman. Now in our new home amidst the leafy grounds of Gartnavel Hospital and we’ve worked hard to make sure things don’t feel a whole lot different. The Calman Centre was created as a safe space, helping everyone we support to feel at ease and in control. Where better then, than in a giant living room - where family and friends are welcome, and the kettle is always on. As Scotland’s cancer charity, we have been the wellbeing champions for those affected by cancer for over 40 years – not only for those diagnosed, but their loved ones and carers too. We deliver high-quality counselling, complementary therapy and stress management services to promote mental and physical wellbeing and to enable those affected by cancer to continue to live the most active life possible in their community. Are you passionate about making a positive impact in your community? Join us as a Community Awareness Advocate at Cancer Support Scotland and help raise awareness about our vital services and various ways to support our cause. If you enjoy speaking to small groups, this role is perfect for you. Inspire others by articulating the importance of our services and the numerous ways they can make a difference. Be a visible presence in the community by attending regular information stalls, providing valuable resources and fostering connections between the public and our organisation. It's important to us that you feel happy, safe, confident and supported in your role. You will receive a full induction to Cancer Support Scotland including information about the history of the charity as well as Cancer Awareness. You will also be given an initial introduction and regular support from the Volunteer Coordinator to ensure you feel confident to undertake your role effectively. You will not be expected to have prior knowledge or experience; your supervisor will work with you to make sure you have all the tools you need and provide guidance. These roles are very flexible, but we estimate 2-3 hours weekly, biweekly or monthly depending on the volunteer’s availability. Location will vary but they are all in Glasgow.

For people leaving hospital, adjusting to life at home can be a difficult time. Supporting someone to get their essential shopping or delivering a food parcel, pick up their prescription, popping in to have a chat and a cuppa with them, helping them manage their mail or going with them to appointments, finding local support groups or getting their heating turned on are amongst the things that our volunteers can do to make all the difference for the Service User to feel safe at home. The role can be very varied because we are trying to support the service user with what they need at that time, and everyone is different.

The Scottish Cot Death Trust have a bucket collection at Tesco Glasgow Barrhead Superstore on Wednesday 24th January from 9.30am-5.00pm. The Scottish Cot Death Trust was founded in 1985 and is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to the sudden unexpected death of babies and young children. We make a difference because we aim to find the answers through funding research, provide support for bereaved families and educate the public and professionals about sudden unexpected death in infants (SUDI) and how to reduce the risks. We are a very small charity with an even smaller number of volunteers but need at least 5 people collecting on the day to make it a success, even for an hour or two. If you or your friends, family and colleagues would like to volunteer for a few hours or the full day, we’d love to hear from you! No experience is necessary. All you need is a friendly and grateful personality, as you receive donations from the public. Meet new people and help out a charity in one of Scotland’s busiest train stations! Fridays are always a great atmosphere, with people getting ready for the weekend! The Trust will be there with a dedicated member of staff and all the support you need throughout the day. Your support will help us continue our vital work: supporting bereaved families, educating the public and professionals, and funding research. It is a great opportunity to gain experience in fundraising and events, and if you enjoy the role then you could join the fundraising team at future events. For more details, please click the ‘Apply’ button below (available if registered and logged in). Or you can contact fundraising@scottishcotdeathtrust.org or call 0141 357 3946.
