It starts with ‘Hello’. From new mums to empty nesters, it's often surprising who is affected by loneliness. That's why we're teaming up with The Co-operative. Together we want to reach out and reconnect thousands of lonely people with their communities, and tackle a problem that is shortening lives and eroding wellbeing. The aim of the Community Connector is to support people affected by social isolation and loneliness and to help them gain confidence and to reconnect to their community in partnership with existing and new partner organisations. We will place the person at the centre of what we do and help them by offering positive encouragement, practical help and emotional support, for up to three months, depending on their needs. Full training and excellent support is provided to all volunteers. This is a great opportunity to make a real difference in the local community. All help is greatly appreciated. For more details please contact Ieva Nevulyte, Community Connector Co-ordinator at email inevulyte@redcross.org.uk / tel:: 07872 839864.

We'd like you to come to our sorting center at 2 Chanonry Road North, Elgin, IV30 6NB, to help us sort donated goods and pack them in to boxed which will be sent to refugees in camps across Europe. Donating stock means saving items of clothing and footwear, blankets, hats, etc, and putting aside items that can be used to raise funds in a jumble sale. The packing of the boxes has to be done in a specific way, as each box has a specific purpose, e.g, the items will be for a small child, or a medium sized man.

We are seeking to establish at least one Student Ambassador in each British university who is able to represent CARA's activities by setting up a society and campaigning on our behalf. We would require the Student Ambassador to promote academic freedom through organising events to debate issues surrounding the topic, organising fundraising and awareness raising events to support CARA grantees and acting as a point of contact for our charity. The Student Ambassador would write an article or two on CARA in their student newspaper. These would also be published on CARA's website and publicised through our social media. The Student Ambassador would be provided with materials with which to set up a stall at a Freshers' Fair and to assemble a society committee which would be in contact with CARA committees at the other 95 CARA/Scholars at Risk UK University Network member universities.

We'd like you to organise and hold jumble sales across Moray to raise fund for Moray Supports Refugees. The stock you'll be selling is donated items which are unsuitable for life in the European Refugee Camps, but which are perfect for raising the much needed fund to support the sustainability of the organisation, and to support the refugees who have been settled in Moray.

We'd like you to offer your home/ shed/ garage as a drop off point for good that people donate to the refugee crises. This opportunity entails us listing and publicising your address as a drop off point for donations. We can arrange for drivers to collect and transport the items to the sorting centre at set intervals if you're unable to do this yourself.

Forth Valley Welcome are a group formed in June 2015 in the Stirling Council area, concerned about the plight of vulnerable refugees in Syria. Our work has naturally evolved to cover Clackmannanshire as well. 'Vulnerable Refugees' are identified by the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) and should not be confused with the complex, on-going migration crisis in Calais or other parts of Europe. We are looking for befrienders to offer refugees an opportunity to form a trusting relationship, which helps him/her to settle in Scotland, learn English and get to know a new environment. The exact nature of the role will depend on what you can offer and what the refugee needs. You may take refugees shopping or accompany them to appointments as a supportive companion. If you have a car, you may deliver donated household items or take refugees on outings or to distant appointments. If you speak Arabic (this is not necessary) this may provide help with translation but all refugees are attending English classes and looking for opportunities to practice conversing in English. You may meet refugees to socialise, go on outings etc. You may also help to run activities for adults or children at a Forth Valley Welcome drop-in session. The time commitment is flexible and can be tailored to suit the volunteer’s availability. You will be supported with 3 hours of induction training (will be done as a group or individually depending on volunteer applications at the time); and will work in a supportive befriending team with experienced volunteers. All volunteers also have access to support from the SCF's befriending coordination team.
