CARERS OF EAST LOTHIAN – Could You Help Lead Them?

Carers of East Lothian (CoEL) is the leading local carers organisation supporting over 1000 people who care for family and friends each year.

They are looking for up to 5 people to join their Board of Directors. A commitment to working as part of a group to guide CoEL’s work to improve the lives of carers is the most essential quality they need. Knowledge of legal, finance, HR, communications or management issues are always helpful but not essential.

The role is unpaid but expenses are paid. It involves a minimum commitment of around 30 hours spread over a year to attend and prepare meetings.

If interested, please call Andrew on 0131 665 0135 or email andrew@coel.org.uk

Volunteer for the RAF Association

RAF VolunteerThe Royal Air Forces Association is currently looking for Caseworkers and Befrienders.

The Association is the charity that supports the RAF family, whether it be serving members or veterans and their families. You can find out about the work they do here : https://www.rafa.org.uk/volunteer

Volunteer Caseworkers are needed now to join a team of welfare volunteers identifying the welfare need amongst the RAF family in the East Lothian area. No experience is needed as full training and support will be provided.

Right now there are veterans in the RAF family suffering from loneliness. Often, what can help more than anything is a friendly visit from a like-minded person. Could you become an RAF Association Volunteer Befriender and help make a positive difference to someone’s life?

Volunteering for the Association is great way of developing your skills, at the same time as supporting RAF veterans in your local community.
