Petition against far-right violence

Links CVS is appalled at the violence of far-right groups against mosques, refugees and minority communities, which is currently happening across several towns in the country. We support Chesterfield & North Derbyshire Unity in our Community and urge you to sign the petition.

Link to the petition: Petition · Chesterfield & North Derbyshire Unity in Our Community - United Kingdom · Change.org

A signatory will have an option of not having their name displayed on the online petition.

 

Derbyshire Rural Counselling Service (DRCS) are seeking a volunteer to join them in Board Meetings as a minute taker. The commitment would be to join the Board and Senior Management Team face to face quarterly at our central Chesterfield base. We expect the commitment will be 2 hours attendance at the meeting and  approximately 1 hour admin between meetings. We are a friendly group and would support the successful applicant to settle in and feel part of the team.

Minute taking experience is preferable however not essential. It would be important the successful applicant understands the boundaries around confidentiality and the accuracy required in minute taking.

This is a great opportunity which would function on many levels for the right applicant. A minimum of 12 months commitment would be helpful.

Please contact Giselle Nkahirwa {Trustee) on 07843106341 and leave a text message to arrange a time to speak.

Adult Social Activities Volunteer

Our volunteers assist with our Adults Social and Leisure program, which supports our service users to access a wide range of social activities, which include but not limited to: walks, theatre/museum trips, craft sessions and café meet up’s. Our Volunteers enable people with sight loss or people who have very little social interaction to feel comfortable and confident to attend our events. This could be by greeting and supporting them at an in-door/outdoor event. Many of our volunteers and service users build up a great rapport and a valuable and trusting relationship.
