Chiddingly Village Shop and Cafe are seeking a volunteer with expertise or a background in finance, who can assist with reading the financial records and the work of their accountants. This would involve not only understanding the information yourself, but helping the rest of the trustees and management in interpreting reports.
This role involves teaching basic IT skills, and guiding carer's who aren't quite as confident at using a computer and/or the internet through the actions they require. This can be online shopping or banking, using a program to call over the internet, helping to set up an NHS online account or maybe email address. It's suitable for anyone who has a decent grasp of IT, but is also a good communicator who is patient and understanding. This will take place at the carer's home, and will usually last for two hours each session for up to six weeks.
Befriending and Respite volunteers are there to meet with someone in need of care, giving the carer a few hours for themselves. The role is socialising, offering them an ear, maybe playing a game. The Association tries to match volunteers with those who hold similar interests. The role is roughly 3 hours a week. A DBS check is required, which The Association of Carers will apply for on your behalf. Only those aged 18 or over are suitable. Mileage and expenses are paid for. Full training will be given.
