West Dunbartonshire CVS
If Covid has taught us anything, it's that not being on-line leaves you at a real disadvantage. Every news bulletin and TV programme directs us to websites. The dentist sends an appointment by text. And GPs are offering video consultations. Great opportunities for many, but for others in our communities this isn’t convenient, just confusing.
The on-line world can seem very scary when you don’t know the right buttons to press…or even how to switch the thing on!
The aim of the APEL initiative is to support people to feel they are involved in their communities and build their confidence to be as active as they can - we need your help to make it happen.
With your support, someone in your neighbourhood will come to realise that digital ‘stuff’ is easier than they ever thought – and they could maybe even pass that knowledge onto someone else who needs it too.
You will spend some time helping people learn how to use smartphones, tablets and (sometimes) computers. You will help them to explore the internet, get signed up to social media and maybe even sign up for a shopping spree!
In return you will have the satisfaction that your support has made all the difference in someone else’s life. Please help us.
You will understand that for everyone safety you will be asked to go through a PVG (police) check.
Due to Covid we have had to have a flexible approach to our opportunities so depending on the restrictions that are active at any point the opportunities may come under one of the following options:
Open for recruitment and placement
Open for recruitment and risk assessed placement activity
Open for some recruitment and some risk assessed placement activity
Open for some recruitment but currently closed to placement activity

Planting and growing and general gardening can be very theraputical and good for your mental health and general wellbeing as well as keeping you active.
We know that many people keep active through gardening, but moving to a flat or experiencing a health condition may hamper their ability to stay involved in a hobby that used to give them so much pleasure - that's where the allotment comes in.
Coming along to the community allotment (Growing Friends) offers access to disability friendly growing with companionship thrown in too.
We hope you may know more about planting and growing than we do! But it's not essential. We are looking for volunteers who can help us plan the allotment use, help with the planting and growing activity and interact with our volunteer team. All equipment is provided. We just need your enthusiasm.
We hope you will get the enormous satisfaction from seeing something you put in the ground grow and flourish. You will also be able to help support others in our communities try something new or something they once enjoyed. The role would suit someone who wanted to get out and about a little more and meet new people.

People say you should never cut your toe-nails on a Sunday. But what if you struggled to cut them at all? Toenails grow… and we take for granted just bending down and giving them a trim when they hurt or poke a hole in our socks.
For some in our communities, living with a long-term health condition or getting older and less mobile, can mean it isn’t that easy. Imagine how uncomfortable this would be! It could mean pain when you are walking – stopping you from getting out and about, meeting friends or shopping.
The aim of the APEL initiative is to support people to feel they are involved in their communities and build their confidence to be as active as they can - we need your help to make it happen.
You don’t need any experience – our friends at NHSGGC Podiatry will provide training and we’re here to support you with everything else.
The role involves trimming toe-nails and generally just checking that the foot is free of anything that could hold back the person's mobility.
You will have the satisfaction of knowing you are making a practical difference to some - helping them stay safe when walking around, help them get out and about and stay active.
If you are looking for some experience for your social care studies or interested in podiatry as a career, this could be for you.
You will understand that for everyone’s safety you will be asked to go through a PVG (police) check, too.

The volunteer broker role is a peer mentoring role where brokers support other volunteers as they progress into their own volunteering opportunity.
The role is to support volunteers into their chosen opportunity by going through the registration process, either face to face or by telephone, inputting data into the database. We take reference details from each volunteer before making any referrals. We also discuss and select potential opportunities based on the information they provide.
Each volunteer enters our follow up process where they are contacted regularly in order to monitor their progress. As part of the follow up you will be contacting the volunteers and organisations to support both in making the volunteering relationship happen and to make the journey into volunteering as simple as possible.

Some people in West Dunbartonshire have found it difficult to get involved in volunteering and need a bit of support to do so. People of all ages want to get involved in their community but may need a helping hand to volunteer.
The aim of the APEL initiative is to support people to feel they are involved in their communities and build their confidence to be as active as they can - we need your help to make it happen.

They will meet others, be active and have a bit of banter with the others in the group. If this sounds like you, all we ask is a few hours every week of your time, over a year. We will be here to provide any help and support you need.

Across West Dunbartonshire, many people live alone and can often feel isolated.
The reasons for this will be varied - they may have difficulty leaving the house alone, have no close family or friends, or have lost confidence after illness or a life-change. In every case, what is missing is someone like you.
Everyone gets older and we are living longer. It can become harder to make new friends and connections as we leave work, grow apart, see family move away and deal with health issues.
The aim of the APEL initiative is to support people to feel they are involved in their communities and build their confidence to be as active as they can - we need your help to make it happen.

Across West Dunbartonshire, many people live alone and feel isolated. The reasons will be different - they may be housebound, have no close family or friends, or just feel anxious. In every case, what is missing is the chance to just blether. Care-givers are a great support, but they can’t give the time that some of our neighbours need.
The aim of the APEL initiative is to support people to feel they are involved in their communities and build their confidence to be as active as they can - we need your help to make it happen.
If chatting about the weather, who’s who on TV, what team is playing best or just what’s happening in the world sounds like you…then we need your help!

All we ask from you is an hour or so of your time, a listening ear…and of course, your chat!

You never know when you or someone you know may need help getting in touch with a service to help support you. Whether through lack of digital access, age or disability, not knowing where to turn for the help you need can become a frustration or struggle; having access to the right information, from a trusted source at the right time could make all the difference.
ACCESS is a one-call helpline service, taking time to listen to what you need and directing you or referring you to the person you need to talk to. Or if you just aren't sure how to find out about something, like what bus takes you to the what hospital, ACCESS is here to help...and we need volunteers like you to help us run the service Monday to Friday.
The role is quite simple but so important. You will answer telephone calls to the ACCESS helpline, lending a supportive ear to our callers and then using our support database, provide the answers or information needed. You will be asked to complete a contact record for each call and keep track of any issues which are a bit challenging or where we need to do more homework! You will have a staff member around to check-in with if you are a bit lost or feel a little concerned about a request.
You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have brought re-assurance, care and support to people who needed your help. If you are looking to volunteer as part of your job-search, you will gain great telephone and call handling skills.
You will understand that for everyone safety you will be asked to go through a PVG (police) check.

There are more and more ways for people to get involved in their communities - different places to go, activities to get involved in. But we know that although many people would benefit from the opportunity, they can find it hard to do so.
For many, making the first step is difficult as they may feel socially isolated and low in confidence - you could help make all the difference, building their confdence and trust and helping them mix with others or take on a more responsible role in their community.
Across a range of our services, we would ask you to be the first person our users meet. You will help provide a friendly welcoming atmosphere, helping our service users and visitors feel comfortable in our surroundings, introduce them to other guests and make sure their visit to us leaves them feeling welcome.
You will get a huge sense of satisfaction when you start to see someone who was quiet and withdrawn come out of their shell and start to access the servcies they need to prosper and make new friends. You will also likely increase your own social circle too.

Shopping for groceries, clothes or little bits around the house is something we can take for granted. People in our communities, who may be a little older, recovering from illness, or just lacking a bit of confidence can really struggle – and you could make the difference.
Shops can be intimidating places – noise, fuss, lights crowds, offers everywhere - all making it difficult to find things. Taking small steps may be all someone needs to start to get out and about again. The aim of the APEL initiative is to support people to stay involved in their communities - we need your help to make it happen.
If supermarkets and shopping centres are your thing…then this could be for you. We will match you with someone in your community, we feel could use your friendship and your help.
By meeting up and hitting the shops together, you could be making the most of the bargains and doing something good at the same time. All we ask is your time, your chat, some space in your car…and maybe a willingness to carry a shopping bag or two!

Across West Dunbartonshire, many people live alone and can often feel isolated.
Life can be tough. We will all live through a mental health issue at some point. Some of us cope alone. Some of us turn to family and friends. For others, it can be more of a struggle without anyone to turn to. You could be the person who provides that vital support.

With your help, someone in our community could feel supported, less alone and more able to face things. If this sounds like you, all we ask is a few hours every week of your time, over a year.
