No matter how good our services are, we can't properly support our users/community well if we don't have a good committee behind the team. If this sounds like you?... we would love you to consider volunteering with us for a few hours per month/every 2 to 3 months. Lomond & Argyll Advocacy Service (usually known as ‘LAAS’) is an independent, free and confidential advocacy organisation operating in the West of Scotland. Our friendly Committee is an ideal place for you to put your Committee Skills to great use or if you are new to being on a Committee it is a great place to learn – willingness to train into the role, supporting the chairperson, ensuring effective organisational planning, manage resources effectively, determine and monitor the organisations operations and helping to enhance the organisations public image We are looking for committee members with lived experience to join our board of trustees to provide an insight into what you have faced and how it was handled. This might be lived experience of advocacy, of the use of Social Work or Health services, of addictions, mental ill health or learning disability So, whether you are looking to use your time well, update your skills or have the chance to do something a bit new, we would love to hear from you. In return, we can offer you a warm welcome and all of the support and help you could need. We are seeing a rise in demand for our services, everyday. Having your help will allow us to be there for the people who need us most. Any time you can give will make a real difference.
