People living well within supportive communities is at the heart of the local Health and Social Care Partnership’s aspirations. One of its priorities is to connect people to their neighbourhoods and communities, promoting good health and self-help. CTSI, SVE and partners are recruiting Volunteer Health Champions, who will receive training so that they can help to make a positive difference to health and wellbeing in their own family, community and workplace. Activities may include: • Speaking to family and friends about health and wellbeing topics • Signposting someone to a health and wellbeing service or support group • Promoting health campaigns within neighbourhoods and being champions on the ground for supermarket/ library/workplace exhibitions • Encouraging a group of friends to meet for a weekly walk rather than staying inside. • Linking with some of the specific support groups within Clackmannanshire and Stirlingshire that include people with dementia, arthritis, heart problems and Diabetes, for example. The health champions will work together to develop local information resources and will attend an accredited course by the Royal Society of Public Health run by Forth Valley College. Additional training will be provided by NHS Forth Valley on various health topics. We would like to hear from anyone who is passionate about health and well-being issues and would like to develop their knowledge and gain experience in this area.

Health and Social Care is a focus on local and national agendas - it is about bringing care in to the community, enabling people to live longer, healthy lives in their homes. CTSI and our counterparts in Stirling (SVE) are looking to recruit Community Health Champion Volunteers to support health and well-being within their communities. The aim of this role is to connect people with their community, promoting good health, and self-help. As a Community Health Volunteer, you will assist with the development of local information resources, and have the opportunity to complete Level 2 in Understanding Health Improvement (an accredited course delivered by FV College). Other relevant training, such as Scotland's Mental Health First Aid will be provided. To carry out the role, you will be involved in activities such as: • Speaking with people about health and wellbeing topics (this could be within the workplace, within your own network, or at an arranged drop in session) • Signposting someone to a health and wellbeing service or support group • Promoting health campaigns within communities (this could be by having a stall in a supermarket, local business, or workplace) • Encouraging people to become more active (for example, suggesting a group of friends meet for a walk each week instead of a coffee) • Working in partnership with already established local support/advice groups in Clackmannanshire/Stirling (e.g dementia, stroke, heart problems) To carry out this role, we are looking for people who are passionate about health and well-being. You will need to have excellent communication skills, and be able to work effectively with lots of different people. A non-judgemental attitude is vital. Due to the level of training provided, we are looking for a minimum of 6 months commitment from volunteers. However, the time commitment is fully flexible. As this is a new role, and new project, there is an exciting opportunity for volunteers to assist in shaping what the role looks like, and feed in to what they feel their communities would benefit from most in a Community Health Champion if they would like to.

Our Rabbit Co-ordinators are central to the success of our new plan. Each Rabbit Co-ordinator will be aligned to a small group of foster carers. When a rabbit is placed with a foster carer, the Rabbit Co-ordinator will be in touch within a few days to discuss the rabbits care plan. Through this informal chat, which may happen by phone, video call, messenger, WhatsApp – or whatever tool works for you both, the Rabbit Co-ordinator and Foster Carer will chat about the rabbits' health, behaviour, diet, temperament, likes and dislikes and together they will agree on a Care Plan for each rabbit. The Rabbit Co-ordinator will help identify appointments needed at The Bunny Bothy and advise the foster carer of any vet appointments that should also be booked. The Rabbit Co-ordinator will record the entire care plan within Shelter Manager, our online software for managing all our rabbit and adoption records. So all the management team, care teams and Bunny Bothy teams will be able to see exactly what is happening and when for that rabbit. The Rabbit Co-ordinator’s will ensure accurate, consistent recording of data throughout the process. And after that chat, they also know more about the rabbits too – so they will help ensure we have an accurate bio in place for sharing on the website and social media too.
