The Office of the Sussex PCC manages up to 45 dedicated volunteers who undertake vital duties for its Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) scheme. Unannounced visits are made by pairs of Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) at varying times of the day and/or night to check on the treatment & welfare of people held in police custody. After every visit, the pair of visitors complete a written report form about their findings, which is then passed onto the ICV Scheme Manager at the Office of the Sussex PCC. ICV recommendations can require the police to make improvements for the welfare of detainees. Working as part of a local panel, they play a valuable role in maintaining public confidence in this important area of policing by making sure that detainees are treated well. Representatives from the community are recruited and appointed on a geographical basis to visit the five police custody centres including Eastbourne and Hastings.

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.

The Luxford Centre 55+ club are seeking cooks to help run their weekly lunchtime meetups. No professional experience is required for this role, just good home cooking! They usually cater for around 20 - 25 members, and you'll either be working alone or in pairs. There is no age limit for this role, though a hygiene certificate is essential. The role is for three Thursday mornings a month, with flexible rotation, and you'll be volunteering for the hours you can give, though never more than four hours a shift. These weekly lunchtime meetups are a wonderful chance for members to socialise over a meal, and a great opportunity for anyone who is a dab hand in the kitchen to put a smile on others faces with those skills. This is also a good position for volunteers who don't have a lot of free time but still wish to help out where they can.
We are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to help us open the store for a couple of hours a week to sort through the donated items for display, and meet and greet members, helping them find the items they are looking for. A full induction will be given for any volunteers. We prefer two volunteers are on duty per session so you can bring a friend, or be placed with an existing volunteer. There is no upper age limit for this role, however please be aware that this position may involve some heavy lifting, as occasionally donated boxes of items may contain heavy materials, however this is not often the case. Currently we have vacancies on a Monday from 3.30pm - 5.30pm and Tuesday 9.30 - 11-30am. We want to open the scrapstore more often so whatever day of the week or weekend suits you we can probably accommodate. We are looking for someone who can make a regular 2 hour a week commitment.
Due to growing numbers, our Time for Tea & Friends group is looking for volunteers to assist in running sessions. It's a relaxed and fun time, with volunteers helping out by serving sandwiches and cakes to guests whilst having a chat. The group meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month, from 11.30am to 2.45pm, and if interested there are other sessions available. A DBS check is required for this role, however Ridgewood Village Hall will cover this.
Join the Bluebell Railway Fundraising & Trust Support Team (Voluntary Role). The Bluebell Railway is one of the UK’s leading heritage railways, dedicated to preserving the past for future generations. A vital part of this work is fundraising – ensuring we have the resources to maintain, restore, and grow our railway. We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to join our Funding Team and Bluebell Railway Trust support team. About the Role We are developing a new Funding Strategy, which will help us decide what to apply for, where, and when. To make this happen, we need people who can assist with: • Drafting and developing funding applications • Researching data and opportunities • Managing and monitoring grant applications In addition, the Bluebell Railway Trust carries out important day-to-day work, such as liaising with donors, handling legacies, and managing accounts. We are also looking for volunteers with skills in: • Administration • Bookkeeping What We’re Looking For We would love to hear from you if you have experience in any of the following: • Grant application writing • Business bid development or tendering • Project research and administration • General administration or bookkeeping
We are looking for a volunteer to help the Trust team with wills and legacies, which includes liaising with executors and their solicitors, and monitoring and reporting on the progress of the administration of estates. We also assist individuals who are thinking of leaving gifts in their wills to the Bluebell. The role would perhaps suit a retired solicitor, accountant or professional executor, or someone with a reasonable working knowledge of the law and practice of wills and estate administration. A sympathetic and helpful approach to donors and the ability to work closely with colleagues would be beneficial. You do not need to be a legacy professional. The Trust team works on site at Sheffield Park Station on Wednesdays or Thursdays, although much of their work is done remotely from home. The Trust, like the Bluebell as a whole, supports equal opportunities. The Bluebell Railway Trust, the charity that supports the Railway, is best known for managing our main fundraising appeals, donations and Gift Aid. It also receives gifts that very generous supporters leave us in their wills, known as legacies. Without such gifts the Railway would not be able to carry out much of the restoration work that is essential for its ongoing operation. Current and future projects that are being funded from gifts in wills include:- The overhauls of Q Class No 541and P Class 323 “Bluebell” The replacement of almost half a mile of worn-out track south of Sharpthorne Tunnel The overhaul of Bulleid designed Carriages
