Current opportunity
CHSS supports groups across Scotland to meet the needs of people living with chest, lung and heart conditions and following a stroke. Peer support groups give people the chance to share experiences with others who understand what they are going through.
Peer support groups have various reasons for coming together. It may be to meet socially, take part in physical activity or learn how to live well with their condition. Each group is unique and tailored to the needs of its local community. Everyone involved with the group will have a say in how the group is run.
Integrated Peer Support Groups are fully supported by Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.
Tasks may include:
· Acting as contact for CHSS if the Lead Volunteer is unavailable
· Setting up and clearing the room
· Organising refreshments
· Taking the register and collecting subs
· Meeting and greeting new members
· Organising and taking part in the programme of activities
· Supporting and taking part in fundraising e.g. raffles
