Launched in 2020, the MorphFit Gentle Movement Project exists to enhance the treatment, outcomes and wellbeing of special population groups through exercise. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and reliable volunteer to support our community engagement and fundraising department. Working directly under our Community Engagement & Fundraising Officer the candidate will conduct research relating to potential funders and service users as well as maintaining communications across social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Actify.

As a community interest company we value volunteers and their support really means a lot to us. We are looking for General Volunteers to help us in the day to day running of our organisation and other volunteers to help us out in different projects. Any skill or interest you might have, might be suitable for one of our many projects - whether it is painting, decorating, shifting/sorting/organising through stuff, clearing up, creative skills, practical skills, all manner and form of skills appreciated. A passion for food and arts would certainly be an asset. In exchange for your time and energy volunteering with us, we can offer the opportunity to improve employability skills, fulfill your volunteering hours for Saltire Awards/Duke of Edinburgh or your company's corporate social responsibility. You can improve your customer service skills and we can even provide you with a character reference if you have volunteered with us for a number of months.

We are looking for enthusiastic and committed people from all backgrounds from across South Ayrshire. While qualifications and experience are good to have, what’s more important to us is to have a ‘can do’ attitude and are committed to providing compassionate and informative services to people who have been affected by crime. You could be a student or recent graduate who is keen to build their CV; or you could be a mid-career professional who is looking to take their life in a different direction. We are open to applications from people from all walks of life. Victims of crime often feel a range of emotions such as anxiety, confusion and anger, while witnesses may feel confused, anxious and overwhelmed by the court system. As a support volunteer, you will provide help and support in both local communities and within the court environment, ensuring people receive the high-quality support and care they need to move forward after crime. As a support volunteer, you will make personal contact with people affected by crime, providing them with support at a time when they need it most. You will: • Discuss service users’ needs by telephone, face-to-face visits or other means, agreeing next steps at the end of each contact • Help witnesses feel more confident at court by arranging and conducting court familiarisation visits • Support service users in the court room and other appropriate locations on the day of a trial, liaising with court officials on behalf of service users • Give feedback and agree follow-up actions with staff members • Provide administrative support in completing service users’ journeys Benefits to volunteering with VSS As a support volunteer you will gain many benefits, such as: • Supporting people when they most need it, helping them to recover from what can be a very distressing time in their life and empowering them to move forward • Learning new skills and gaining experience of working within the criminal justice sector • Gaining access to a range of training courses that are relevant to your volunteering role • Positively affecting your community as a member of a team actively working to reduce the impact of crime
