Volunteering opportunity - Volunteer to support local families

Home-Start in East Lancashire is one of Lancashire’s leading volunteer-led charities.By volunteering just a few hours each week you can transform the lives of young children and their parents in your communityVolunteers are local people with parenting experience. They are trained and supported before being matched to their family. Home-Start prides itself on providing ongoing support and supervision to volunteers on their Home-Start journey.Home-Start volunteers come from all walks of life and experiences. All that’s asked of them in return is that they have a caring and non-judgemental attitude and can commit to visiting a family in their own home for two-three hours per week.What Home-Start volunteers offer is a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and a practical pair of hands. Right from the start, parents are told that Home-Start’s ethos is not to judge, which is crucial for parents reaching out for help. What our volunteers do is build a trusting relationship with their family. This is a gradual process and is taken at the family’s own pace, so that they feel in control and not coerced into making changes they are not ready for.

The Wish Centre

Helping Hands is a fun packed programme for children aged 6-11. The programme is to learn about personal space, right and wrong behaviours and safety. Three themes are reinforced throughout the programme:1. We all have the right to feel safe all the time.2. There is nothing so small or so awful we can’t talk about it with someone.3. Others have the right to feel safe with us.It is particularly useful for children who have experienced/ witnessed domestic abuse but is also a suitable course for any children to learn about protective behaviours.

Psychological Support - for people with life limiting conditions

Pendleside recognises that the diagnosis of a life limiting illness is a distressing experience for most people. Psychological distress such as shock and disbelief, fear and anxiety, anger, low mood and depression, are understandable and natural responses that can change on a day-to-day basis.It may be difficult to come to terms with the situation and emotional adjustment is often harder than coping with the physical effects of the illness or treatment. You may find yourself facing surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other medical treatment that brings further worry.The Psychological Support Service at Pendleside is a specific program consisting of clinical hypnosis, cognitive behavioural therapy, psychotherapy, counselling, mindfulness, or other therapies, these can address the physical, emotional and social problems often associated with the diagnosis of a life limiting illness.After initial self-referral, a therapist will complete an assessment; following this up to 10 sessions of 60 minutes will be offered; however, this will be assessed according to need and may be extended.

The average household spent £1,254 a year on heating and power, in 2021 according to Ofgem. That’s about 2-3 weeks’ wage of the average worker in the UK. This has risen significantly recently.Also, around 22% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from our homes, so cutting down your fuel use is a great environmental action you can take.Everyone should be asking themselves - what am I doing to reduce my consumption and cut my bills?This page has loads of useful, easy to read information about cutting the amount of fuel you use.

Home-Start Volunteer

Being a Home-Start volunteer means offering friendship to parents and spending time with families in a way that meets their needs.You could spend time with a young parent, helping to build their confidence as they adapt to life with a small baby, or share an outing with a family who finds getting out of the house difficult. The visits might involve offering an extra pair of hands to a family with several children, or providing a listening ear to a mother who is suffering from postnatal illness. A volunteer may also be an advocate to a family who is looking at new ways to improve the family’s well-being.As a volunteer you will also gain a lot. You will develop new skills and have some wonderful experience to add to your CV. We also offer additional training to all volunteers in subjects such as safeguarding children and domestic violence.Out of pocket expenses will be paid whilst volunteering.Home-Start recruits and trains volunteers regularly. Next Volunteer Preparation Course will start at the end of September  For more information please contact Home-Start Blackburn and Darwen

Communicars - volunteer transport scheme

Communicars is a fantastic volunteer transport scheme for elderly and disabled people who have difficulty travelling via public transport. Due to Volunteers using their own vehicles we are unable to accommodate for Wheelchairs.What can I use Communicars for?These are just a few of the most common reasons for using Communicars:Doctor’s appointments Hospital visits Dental appointments Going to the hairdressers Trips into town Taking you shopping Collecting your pension from the Post Office Travelling to visit friends and family Communicars is a vital lifeline for many people who would otherwise be unable to get out and about. Isolated people rely on Communicars to transport them around for essential journeys which would be very difficult or prohibitively expensive to do on their own.At BPRCVS we have a team of volunteer drivers that provide the Communicars service using their own cars. Communicars is available to people living in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale.Unlike other community transport schemes Communicars is a door-to-door service that can transport up to 3 passengers at any given time. The safety of passengers is paramount to Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale CVS. We strictly check all insurance and MOT documents of the driver and their car before we hire them as a volunteer driver. All drivers are also subject to a DBS check (formerly known as a CRB check) to further ensure the safety of our passengers.Please note: Communicars is a very low cost service specifically designed for and available to those who cannot access public transport. Communicars is not a taxi service. Persons found to be abusing the service and goodwill of the volunteers will be excluded from the service and unable to use it again.Communicars operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. You can book your journey by calling Communicars dispatch on 01282 412096. Phone lines are open between 9am and 2pm for bookings.This service costs 40p per mile and passengers must register and bookings are taken a few days in advance of the journey.Next StepsYou have to complete a referral form and send it through.

BwD Carers Service

Do you care for more than 30 hours per week?Has it been a while since you were able to take a break away from your caring role?We have teamed with Carefree, who are making some short breaks available to Carers. How it works: Speak to us if you are interested in this scheme and you meet the criteria (you have to be over 21, caring over 30 hours a week and be able to fund your own transport and meals, etc. You also need to pay an admin fee of £25.) We pass your details on to Carefree, then you can search their hotels and holiday cottages on their website and choose the break that suits you.  The offer is usually two or three night stays in accommodation in various locations around the country.  You can take one companion (but Carefree state that it can’t be the person you care for; they want you to have a ‘care free’ break.)Once we’ve referred you, you make all the arrangements and book directly with Carefree.If you are interested, contact a member of the Carers Service staff team and we will help you.Use the contact us form on our website: https://www.bwdcarers.org.uk/E-mail us: office@bwdcarers.org.ukCall 01254 688440

Lancashire County Council Libraries

Join a group of like minded book lovers and enjoy listening to and reading aloud different genres of books each week.Make friends through reading. Shared reading groups are a new type of reading group. They are very relaxing as there is no reading required before coming to the group. Instead each group has someone who reads aloud to the group and encourages discussion. Chatting about what has been read over "a brew and a biscuit" is a big part of the group. All printed materials are provided at each meeting - no books to borrow or buy and no reading to a deadline!All our Shared Reading Groups use the same approach - typically the group will read together a short story and a poem during the session. Chatting is a big part of the group - with the emphasis being on "what it means to me", but there is no pressure to join in. Groups are ideal for those with visual impairments, dyslexia or other difficulties with reading or concentration but equally groups are also enjoyed by anyone who occasionally likes to take time over their reading and to discuss it with others.All groups are free and are drop-in except the one at Whitworth library. For the session at Whitworth Library, you need to book a place. You can call, drop in at the library or email - whitworth.library@lancashire.gov.ukFor more details about this service and other services go to https://events.lancashire.gov.uk/search/index.asp?q=&area=allVenue&venue=&daterange= On the left of the page, there is a search box.  Use the search by Keyword, Location, Date, Category and cost to look for anything group or event you are interested in.
