Despite Christmas only being a short time away we have had organisations contacting us with new opportunities. Usually it takes a little time from applying to volunteer to actually starting so it may be good idea to apply now if you are thinking about volunteering in the New Year. See below for some ideas:-
Beccles Sea Cadets:
Looking for someone to help with costing and applications to funding bodies regarding the proposal of a new building. They are also looking for Committee Members and volunteers to help with transporting young people to events. They have also been asked to take on the running of Beccles Duck Race and to do this need a working committee. Tasks include approaching sponsors, selling ducks (from around March) and creating new ideas in which they can promote the Duck Race. There are 1000 ducks to be cleaned up following the race held this year.
Still in the Beccles area, Ringsfield & Weston Community Council & Village Hall Committee is looking for a Minutes Secretary to prepare and distribute agendas and meeting papers, correspondence as directed by the Council, taking notes and preparing minutes of the meetings which are held monthly.
Out & About has several opportunities:
1) Volunteers to supporting young children who are disabled to take part in leisure activities;
2) Charity Box collector- going and finding locations willing to place a box in their venue, emptying and banking of the proceeds.
3) Volunteers willing to be a part of a pool taking part in street/supermarket collections;
4) for the Friends Groups - arranging fundraising events, e.g. quiz nights, coffee mornings, putting up posters, giving talks to groups.
