Resonate Together is a local charity which has been running for over 13 years. Resonate run various groups dependant on the skills individuals bring, from various art groups to chess club & gardening. They also provide meeting rooms for outside organisations.
They have grown not only in size, resulting in a larger premises, but also their model of working. Many who come to Resonate Together start by saying they do not have any skills. This can be for so many reasons, and one of the core challenges being personal confidence. Over the last decade, they have listened, learned and experienced the incredible development of so many people - they know that ‘skills’ can be learned and we know that every individual that comes to Resonate Together has inner qualities that will benefit our community.
Resonate Together's Customer Service Volunteer role includes meeting members, new and old. Based at the Coffee & Tea area you would not only be welcoming members but inviting them to have a cuppa, and quite often in Resonate, a piece of cake! This gives you a chance to get to know the members in a relaxed informal setting. 1-1 support & training is provided. Minimum of 3 hours per week. Wednesday and/or Thursday Morning & Afternoon. They are expanding into Friday, & Saturday sessions too.
As the Customer Service Volunteer, you may be the first person new members meet as they come through the door. They would therefore like you to be welcoming, friendly, and positive. As Resonate welcomes people from all walks of life discrimination is not tolerated. Good listening skills are a must, as well as of course, knowing your way round a kettle!
As with any member of Resonate we welcome adults from all walks of life, as long as you have the skills and/or the experience (through work, volunteering or life) to take on the role. References will be taken. During your time with Resonate you may be interested in taking on a role requiring a PVG. Please do not hesitate to ask for further information on police checks.
The Food Foundation works with a diverse group of food activists from across the UK, campaigning both in their own communities and on a national level for the right of all people to be able to access healthy and affordable food.
Our Food Ambassadors have lived or living experience of food insecurity. As experts by experience they use their voices to increase the power of our policy asks, bringing light to the real lives behind research and data.
The Food Ambassador volunteer programme is open to all people with lived experience of food insecurity aged 14 years and up. We currently work with secondary school students, parents and grandparents, students and young working adults.
As part of the Food Ambassador volunteer programme, ambassadors attend events and summits, meet with policymakers, and undertake media interviews. While much of the role can be done in your own community (or even your home), some travel may be needed. We will reimburse travel and subsistence expenses to volunteers in line with our Expenses Policy.
We work closely with each ambassador, providing support and training opportunities to aid them in their roles as food activists.
We also link ambassadors with other organisations to partake in research and focus groups.
The role is completely voluntary and very flexible, but we ask for a minimum commitment of 2 years.
