We are delighted that you are interested in volunteering for Herts Musical Memories.

Herts Musical memories (HMM) was founded in June 2017, taking over from Singing for the Brain originally provided by The Alzheimer’s Society in Hertfordshire, bringing together people with dementia and their carers helping them to live well and enjoy a sense of unity through music.  When the Alzheimer’s Society lost their funding to run Singing for the Brain in Hertfordshire there was a sense of loss and devastation among the groups members - they sought help from local MPs along with councillors and press in an attempt to save the groups. Out of this campaign HMM was formed. The personal funding from its members to help start the charity speaks volumes of how key this service was to them, being often the only activity that a person with dementia responded too in any meaningful way - particularly those further along in their illness.  According to family, friends and carers the urgency for the groups to continue was vital for the mental health and wellbeing of their loved ones

The singing sessions have been devised through research carried out by the Alzheimer’s Society and use musical therapy whilst remaining informal and a lot of fun. It has been proven that singing is one of the best activities for people living with dementia.  We remember music in different parts of our brain and it is the last memory to go. One of our members lost his speech early on in his illness and couldn’t read, however once he started singing he found he could read the lyrics. Other benefits are the socialisation, reduction of anxiety and depression and feeling safe in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.  A recent new member told us that when her friends found out that her husband had dementia they all deserted her.  This, sadly is very common and demonstrates how the illness impacts not just the person with a diagnosis but also the wider family. Many clients tell us the relief of finding our services is enormous – they feel they have a life again.

ROLE DESCRIPTION

The sessions are run by our professional Group Leaders who carefully prepare them each week and are responsible for ensuring the sessions run smoothly. Our volunteers play a vital role in supporting this process, helping to make our singing sessions warm and inviting ensuring from the moment our members come through the door they have a positive experience that helps them deal with this devastating illness.

There are a number of tasks that the Group Leader needs support with, these are:

· Helping set up the room and preparing refreshments.

· Meet and greet people as they arrive.

· Help with the attendance register, signing people in and taking their fees.

· Handing out music lyrics once the singing begins.

· Handing out musical instruments when needed.

· If you are a confident singer – helping with the rounds and the partner song.

· Clearing up at the end making sure the hall is neat and tidy, all instruments and lyrics have been collected and are put away.

Currently we are seeking support in our Bushey group, however we will consider applications from people who are interested in volunteering in one of our other 8 groups within Hertfordshire.

Thank you so much for offering to support Herts Musical Memories.

About Us

With Jesus. With each other. To the edges.

We are passionate about God’s mission and eager to see more and more people become followers of Jesus. For 225 years CMS has been at the forefront of global mission, living out the gospel of Jesus, seeing lives changed and communities transformed across the globe. Often in ways we could not have anticipated. 

Founded by William Wilberforce and other members of the Clapham Sect group of activists in 1799, today CMS supports hundreds of people and partners in mission working together across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. We also train UK Christians for creative, ground-breaking mission in Britain. 

Context

With mission no longer being a “West to the rest” endeavour, and as Christianity has flourished in parts of the majority world, we have undertaken a prayerful review of our organisation, in order to discern our mission call for this generation.

We have rediscovered and been re-inspired by the pioneering spirit of our founders. We believe our calling for this time is to the “edges”: to the edges of society, the edges of church and to the edges of our comfort zones. To that end, we have been aligning our organisation and focus to play a catalytic role in facilitating movements of mission to and from these edges.

The Role

Taking a listening and reflective approach, as Chair you will draw out the diverse skills and wisdom among our trustees, ensure excellence in our governance, support the executive leadership in delivering our refreshed vision and play a role in strengthening our links with the Global Anglican Communion.

If you share our passion for following Jesus and making disciples at the edges, bring experience at board level, a highly relational approach and a global perspective, we would love to hear from you.

For more information see the job pack attached. Closing date 14 August.

Unwaste.io is a UK based social enterprise using data to create a circular economy for plastic. Our cloud platform, Wastebase, collects data about single-use plastic waste found in the environment. We encourage individuals, communities and NGOs to use our free Wastebase app to collect evidence about the plastic waste they find in their area. We want producers to take responsibility for where their waste ends up. Our data can help them do that.

We’re looking for a UK-based volunteer who can help connect with community organisations in the UK and encourage more people to use Wastebase to support their activities. If you like being out and about, talking to people who want to improve their community and you are interested in improving the environment, this might be the role for you.

Regular tasks

We’ll support you to understand our aims and audience and encourage you to bring your own ideas and creativity to what we do. Regular tasks will involve:

• identifying and engaging with community organisations involved in local clean ups, waste or litter campaigning or plastic free advocacy through Facebook, instagram and TikTok, supported by our Social Media Manager

• joining local clean ups in person to demonstrate the Wastebase app and get people excited about using it

• joining meetings remotely to give demos or presentations about Wastebase, supported by our comms lead

• distributing posters for community groups to use in their local displays

Essential requirements

• willingness and confidence to get out and talk to local groups in person

• access to own car or ability to travel independently with the local area (up to a day trip - we don’t expect you to make extended or overnight trips)

• confidence in public speaking (remote or in person) and engaging people on a personal level

• confidence in using digital tools to make presentations or demos (for example, Google Meet, Google Slides)

• experience in using social media to connect with people or organisations

Desirable requirements

• knowledge of or interest in plastic reduction, waste management or the circular economy

• desire to create positive impact on the environment 

• previous experience of working with a community organisation in an engagement or marketing role

Expenses

Unwaste.io will reimburse reasonable travel expenses (including fuel). This could include train travel to meet a community group, for example, plus lunch if out for a whole day. These must be agreed in advance.

Working schedule

We expect our volunteers to join regular weekly check ins - these are usually about 30 mins at an agreed time. Outside of this, we expect you to manage your own time and complete tasks in a way that suits both your schedule and the requirements of the role. This is likely to include some time at the weekends (to join clean ups) or in the evenings.

We are always available to answer questions and offer support and encourage all of our team to ask for help whenever they need it. If you are joining clean ups and events, we will support you to do this safely. 

Training and support

We’ll provide you with appropriate training on our app and data management platform, as well as the collaboration tools we use. We’ll also support you to develop your knowledge of plastics and the circular economy, and to build your skills around community engagement (writing, presentation, identifying contacts for example). You'll be supported by our Partnerships and Comms lead and will work alongside our Social Media Manager and Data Volunteer.

If you wish to use this role as a basis for a personal study project or portfolio project, we will be happy to provide you with additional access to our data and digital tools.

Future opportunities

This is an unpaid role and we can’t guarantee any future employment with Unwaste.io. However, your experience as a volunteer would be very valuable if you chose to apply for any future roles with us. We always encourage our volunteers to apply for relevant roles if they come up.
