We are looking for someone with administrative skills to enter data onto our database, and to help with the production of food labels for our food project. Signpost International is based at the Roundhouse and is a charity that supports communities to help them help themselves. In Dundee we run the Roundhouse Kitchen where we take food waste and turn this into healthy nutritious meals that are then distributed through the food larders across the city.

Would you like the opportunity to support Mary’s Meals’ work to feed hungry children in some of the world’s poorest countries and help give them a brighter future? We’re looking for volunteers to join our global movement, to help raise awareness about Mary’s Meals and fundraise for our work. As a Community Volunteer you can contribute as an individual or become part of one of our local groups of passionate volunteers, helping to grow our movement by motivating and inspiring people in your local community to support our work. If you have a little time to spare, you enjoy meeting like-minded people, want to learn new skills and you’d like to help our amazing cause, then our Community Volunteer role is perfect for you! Volunteering is fulfilling and fun. By gifting your precious free time to Mary’s Meals, you can learn useful new skills, meet new people, and make a valuable contribution to our important work to reach more hungry children with life-changing meals in schools. We really need your help so we can keep our promise to the more than 1.8million children who rely on a nutritious daily meal at school from Mary’s Meals, especially as Covid-19 has hit many developing countries so hard. WHAT ARE MARY'S MEALS UK IN SHETLAND LOOKING FOR? We are looking for people who are passionate about ending child hunger and ensuring that every child receives a daily meal in a place of education. We have a range of activities that can be done from the comfort of your home, while Covid-19 restrictions are in place. They include: hosting virtual talks, spreading the word about our work on social media or holding screenings of our inspiring videos with family and friends. If you don’t mind public speaking, we can also train you to visit schools, Rotary Clubs and other local organisations to give talks virtually and generate support for our cause. As restrictions change across the UK, other key activities may include: • Sharing our story (in person) with local community organisations, schools, churches, and faith groups. • Organising fundraising events in your local area – such as coffee mornings, quizzes, and bucket collections. • Promoting Mary’s Meals’ fundraising campaigns in your community. • Distributing and displaying promotional materials and placing collection tins. • Helping to generate support from businesses in your local area.

You can speak to your Mary’s Meals contact to discuss which elements of the role would be best suited to you. We have great opportunities to put your skills to good use, and we will provide training and support to help you in your role.
