What are our aims? The No.1 Befriending Agency is a vibrant social enterprise that aims to reduce loneliness and isolation. We welcome people from all backgrounds to join our team where you will make a positive impact in your community and support vulnerable adults (aged 18+). By volunteering with No.1, you will support us in our aims of building service users' confidence and enhancing their quality of life. You will also help develop the dynamic of the organisation for service users, strengthening the friendly and inclusive environment that has been created. In June 2022, we launched our Heritage Project. The project ties in with our aim to reduce the loneliness and isolation of vulnerable people through befriending and is based on the idea that ‘every life is a story’. We are sharing stories, memories and experiences with each other, to encourage the exploration of heritage and promote connectivity in the community. What does the role involve? We run virtual events three times a week on Mondays (2-3pm), Wednesday (11am-12pm) and Friday (2-3pm). Our Virtual Walking Tours will take place as part of these events, allowing those who live alone and feel isolated to connect with local areas around Glasgow. We are looking for enthusiastic and engaging volunteers to lead these sessions. Volunteers will share virtual walking tours, using pictures and descriptions of local areas, stories and landmarks, with service users from the comfort of everyone’s living rooms. Please note, the role does not require doing the walking tour whilst on Zoom. We have resources for you, the volunteer, to take service users on a walking tour that has already been planned. We also welcome volunteers’ own ideas, and would love to host a walking tour planned by you! Full induction training will be given, with ongoing support meetings from volunteer coordinators. We ask if you can commit to one to four sessions a month (2-8 hours a month including preparation time) to come and lead a walking tour. For more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinators on info@befriend.org.uk or 0141 465 6998

We are looking for Event Assistants to help us at events including coffee mornings, reminscing sessions and heritage activities.

The No.1 Befriending Agency was formed by a group of professionals who, when working as carers for older adults, frequently experienced that the people they cared for longed for meaningful interaction in addition to the simple mechanical acts of care they received. In order to tackle this loneliness and isolation, we created a befriending service where trained volunteers visit and spend time with isolated older people. The specific tasks for the role might include: • Document the event through photos/videos during the event • Working closely with volunteer coordinators to ensure the event runs smoothly • Gather quotes from clients and volunteers about their experience during event • Writing a blog after the event • Help support clients during the event • Make tea/coffee for service users This role is flexible so you can make it work to your schedule. We will publish a programme of events for Maryhill, and you can sign up when it works for you. Events will take place between Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm.

Charity Trusteeships can be incredibly rewarding as well as supporting personal and professional development. Along with your fellow Trustees and the Director of the organisation, you will set the long-term strategic direction of HSGNNL and provide advice and guidance to the other Trustees and the Senior Management Team in your specialist field where applicable.

Just as important, they support and challenge the Senior Management Team to enable HSGNNL to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission. Trustees have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals. Duties: • Support and provide advice on HSGNNL’s purpose, vision, goals and activities. • Provide challenge to the Director and Senior Management Team • Approve operational strategies and policies and monitor and evaluate their implementation. • Oversee HSGNNL’s financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress. • Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation. • Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored, and controlled effectively. • Review and approve HSGNNL’s financial statements. • Provide support and challenge to HSGNNL’s Director in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs. • Keep abreast of changes in HSGNNL’s operating environment. • Contribute to regular reviews of HSGNNL’s own governance.
