The NSPCC's bookshelf scheme has raised more than £7,000 for the children's charity in the last four years in Cumbria, and we are looking for new volunteer co-ordinators to help continue the good work across Scotland. The simple bookshelf and honesty box scheme began as a pilot in 2018 organised by NSPCC community fundraising manager Sandra Jones, before being extended across multiple areas as its success grew. "It's been such a success, we're not just looking for book donations, but also seeking new volunteers who can spare two or three hours each month to help us co-ordinate new book schemes. We're also looking to engage with local organisations and communities to create new pop up book schemes, so if you know anyone who might be interested or be able to help, I'd love to hear from you". These funds will be used to support NSPCC's work in Scotland, helping protect Children from abuse and neglect. Step by Step to Get Involved! 1. Get permission from owner/manager 2. Find a spot! A kitchen, canteen or foyer are great areas! 3. Source some books.... 4. Find a box, shelf or safe space to put the books in 5. Share and tell everyone about it! 6. Get an NSPCC tin and encourage a donation in exchange for a book! Your local Community Fundraising Manager: Sandra Jones Sandra.Jones@nspcc.org.uk 01138871067 or 07590450647

Crossroads is a registered charity which has been operating for 37 years in South Ayrshire (although also with a national footprint). We provide a highly needed service in offering a respite service for at home carers. The charity runs with a small office team supported by a team of Care Attendants and over seen by a Management Committee comprising of volunteers who each bring a different set of skills and expertise to aid the operation of the charity. Our next aim is to raise our profile in South Ayrshire and we would gladly welcome the support of volunteers who would like to share our aim and interest by supporting us, as a volunteer fundraiser. Ideally the volunteer would have a sales and marketing background, yet it is not mandatory as the sales pitch can be delivered by one of the committee members. The volunteer fundraiser would support by identifying donors, raising the group's profile, writing applications for funding opportunities, organising events, etc. The group meets on a Tuesday of every second month at 7pm in a meeting room at Biggart Hospital, Prestwick (where the office is located), yet most of the volunteering can easily be done remotely and perhaps meet with the team occasionally as required. Kindly fill in the contact us form on https://crossroads-sa.org.uk/contact.asp and we will get back to you at our earliest.
