Every year thousands of people join Team NSPCC to take on a challenge and raise money to help protect children and prevent abuse. Together with other cheerers, you'll make a huge difference to how our runners feel – helping them to complete a challenge they've spent months preparing for. What you'll do You'll be joining other lively and enthusiastic cheerers at  our NSPCC cheer point along the route – be ready for cheering, clapping, whooping or even singing. It's a team effort, so you would also help with setting up the cheer point, giving out t-shirts and cheering materials, making sure the area is kept tidy and helping with packing down. We have one cheer point along the course, with staggered start times. We'll be in touch to arrange with you what time to arrive, where to meet and what to expect. You don't have to be an official cheerer to come along and support team NSPCC. So if you can't make the full-time or to one of our cheer points, we'd still love to see there, just look up the event time and come along. What you'll get Volunteering at our events is a great way to experience the fantastic atmosphere of event days, without the training! The atmosphere at our cheer point is amazing, and we'll provide you with cheering materials and an NSPCC t-shirt so all you have to bring is your enthusiasm. You'll be accompanied by NSPCC staff to support you and answer any questions you may have. Refreshments will be provided at the cheer points, and travel expenses will be covered up to the value of £5. Who's right for the role? You don't need any prior experience, just a sense of fun, team spirit and enthusiasm. It's important that you're able to spend a few hours outside, spending lots of this time cheering and clapping. You'll also need to stand for a few hours so, if you think this would be difficult, we'd advise bringing along a travel chair. If you are a wheelchair user, please let us know and we can help to identify a suitably accessible cheering point for you. You'll need to feel comfortable if members of the public ask you about your volunteering role and will simply need to direct them to a member of staff if they have any questions about the NSPCC. We need volunteers with a warm and friendly manner, as the NSPCC is 90 per cent funded by public donations so the impression people have of us is incredibly important.   Please be aware that you'll need to make your own way to your cheer point (we will give you directions). We can discuss which cheering post would be most convenient for you. Interested in getting involved?

We are a distinct service operating as part of the national charity Family Action. We improve the emotional well-being and life chances of children and young people who are facing multiple disadvantages on a daily basis. We provide the vital support these children need to brighten their experience of childhood and build resilience for the future, by matching them with friendship mentors who give one-to-one support for at least two years. We accept referrals for children and young people aged 5-16 in London. The children and young people we help have a range of problems to deal with, such as living with the after-effects of domestic violence or alcohol and drug misuse, or supporting parents with mental health problems. Some of the young people have mental health issues themselves; some have learning difficulties or are struggling at school; others are caring for disabled or ill relatives at home. Whatever a child�s particular circumstances, regular contact with a mentor provides the extra support and friendship they need to help them manage everyday life, explore new interests, have fun, develop life-skills and build the resilience they need to cope with adversity and lead a fulfilling adult life. Our volunteers receive ongoing training and support from our dedicated team of professional caseworkers, who are always on hand to offer advice and guidance. ^^ http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string 692 ^^ http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer

We are looking for volunteers who enjoy meeting and talking to new people and would be willing to help us set up a new group in their area. What would I do? Following the success of the new groups in Hertfordshire, we are recruiting volunteers across the country to set up new NWR groups in their area. These NWR groups will meet for conversation and informal discussions in a local cafe or pub with a set theme – this theme acts as an icebreaker and ensures that no two meetings feel the same! Themes could cover a wide range of topics and are designed to be light-hearted and an opener for conversations that could lead anywhere (and usually do!). Your role would be to run the meetings – greeting new and existing members, ensuring that the meetings run smoothly and everyone feels welcome, included and is having fun. You would be asked to: • Work with NWR staff to identify which town/city to base your group in • Consider the types of women who would be interested in your group. What would suit them in terms of the time, location and format of the meetings? How should we communicate to them about the new group? Our staff will be able to provide guidance using their wealth of experience in setting up and running groups. • Schedule meetings and identify and arrange a suitable venue. • Run the meetings, ensuring that everyone is made to feel welcome and has an opportunity to contribute if they want to. Promote the benefits of NWR membership. We will: • Offer you ideas and advice in all areas of running the meetings and managing the group. • Write and launch a social media and marketing campaign to recruit members for your group. • Respond to enquiries and maintain lists of those interested in attending. The amount of time spent will vary from week to week. It is estimated that it will require 2 hours a month. The hours are flexible and can fit in with your existing commitments. This opportunity is open to women living in the UK over the age of 18 who are able to travel to the meetings in the evening. Travel expenses will not be reimbursed. You will be provided with full training and support from NWR staff and will be part of a friendly and supportive network of volunteers from across the country. ^^ http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string National Women's Register ^^ http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string NWR is a membership organisation for women that has been bringing women together for over 60 years for social activities.
