Telephone befrienders urgently needed!

by Sandwell Advocacy

Sandwell Advocacy is a small local charity operating Sandwell Together, a telephone befriending service. Sandwell Together was set up in response to the social isolation and loneliness felt by many of us during the Covid pandemic. Sadly, social isolation and loneliness continue to be an issue for many people and Sandwell Together is committed to continuing to provide this support. Sandwell Together now has a number of people on their waiting list in urgent need of a telephone befriender. Is this something you feel you could do? We are looking for people with kindness, empathy and good listening skills who would like to make a real difference to the lives of others. In return for giving up a small amount of your time each week to make a call from your own home we will offer full training, the opportunity to learn new skills, make new friends and the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing something really worthwhile.

Make a difference to the life of a child in foster care

by Change Grow Live

For many children and young people, living in foster care can be unsettling. Having someone there just for them can make all the difference. That someone could be you. An Independent Visitor is an adult who meets with a child or young person who is in care, to do a fun activity together. This helps the young person to do what they enjoy and provides them with a positive adult role model. The consistent friendship helps the young person to build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience. Pre-agreed volunteer expenses are reimbursed , such as personal car mileage and any agreed fees/expenditure from the session with the young person (entrance fees, refreshments, etc).

Become a school governor to change young people's lives

by Governors for Schools

Governors for Schools find and place volunteers on school and academy governing boards. Schools do incredible things to educate young people and help them become compassionate and well-rounded citizens. However, they can’t do this job alone. School governors help to shape school policies and aims, allowing teachers to focus on delivering high-quality educational experiences. Effective governance can positively impact a child’s experience of education. Apply to become a governor by completing our online form. First, tell us about the skills and expertise you could bring to a school. Then, we’ll assign you a dedicated partnership manager to guide you through the placement process. We’ll match your skillset to a school in need, so you can be sure you’re having a positive impact and making a difference to children.
