This role involves collecting shopping, medication or other essential supplies for others in our community who will benefit from this help and support.

Volunteers will provide practical and emotional support to promote the recovery and reablement of a local person, following their experience of a hospital admission, or significant medical intervention. This service is very individual and unique to each client depending on their needs as well as their personal aims regarding their recovery and the regaining of their independence. The time commitment required will vary from volunteer to volunteer, and from client to client. We are happy to work with volunteer’s schedules and commitments to find a pattern of volunteering that suits each individual and meets the needs of the service. We ask volunteers to commit to a regular pattern of volunteering (weekly/fortnightly) as much as possible.

We are Scotland’s leading community eating disorder charity, providing peer support through Support Groups and one-to-one Befriending for those with eating disorders and for parents, carers and families. Our services are volunteer-led, most of whom have lived experience of recovering from eating disorders. Growing and developing our services is now a key focus so that we can support more people across Scotland in their recovery journey. Our plan to expand our services is led by our Development Manager with the support of our major funders, The Robertson Trust, National Lottery and Comic Relief and many other generous charitable trusts. To help us deliver our vision and meet the needs of our communities in Scotland we are looking to bring new trustees onto the Board with specific skills sets in income generation and digital. As a Board we work together as a close team, so we’re looking for trustees who enjoy working collaboratively towards a common goal and are happy to roll their sleeves up to get things done, alongside making a strategic contribution. We’re also planning to recruit some skills-based volunteers to help us deliver on key projects, and so having an interest in supporting their contribution to the Charity, and co-creating together, is important too. We currently meet as a Board once a month, typically on a Wednesday between 3-5pm. Given the stage we’re at with our growth plans, you’ll likely need to commit around 2-3 additional hours during the working week. As part of your overall trustee duties of leading and governing the charity’s activities you will bring experience of income generation, ideally in the 3rd sector, with a focus on either Strategic Funding Relationships or Community Fundraising. As a Board we have a collective responsibility for income generation and given the breadth of opportunity in this space, it’s not essential to have experience in both of these areas. We may recruit a couple of trustees with complementary skill sets to work together on this. You will also work closely with our Development Manager and partner together to align our income generation activity with our plans to deliver and expand our services. We’re looking for people who can think strategically and creatively to help us develop a sustainable funding plan with a differentiated proposition that’s clear on who we are trying to reach and the best way to do so. At the same time, you’ll also have the know-how to put this into practice and get things off the ground, and also measure our success. You’ll be confident in leading the way in one of the following areas: Strategic Funding Relationships • Building strategic relationships with key funders to secure income that provides a level of sustainable funding over multiple years e.g., charitable trusts and large-scale funders such as Comic Relief and Children in Need. • A key part of this will be working together with the Development Manager and our external funding partner to create compelling funding applications. Experience of Section 10 applications would be of help down the line. Community Fundraising • Raising funds within our local communities, tapping into the desire to give something back, through events and sponsorship and leveraging our relationships with Universities and Colleges. • Investigating digital channels and how we can use social media to raise funds. • Exploring opportunities to partner with Corporates and with businesses in our communities.

Strathcarron Hospice are looking for compassionate individuals who are able to commit to a couple of hours a week to visit someone or take them out for a short trip (COVID guidelines allowing). They would also like to hear from people who enjoy writing letters and speaking over the telephone, and would like to use these to help someone in our local communities feel less isolated.
