New SPLASH! project in Gosport
13/12/2017
Gosport Voluntary Action is delighted to have received a National Lottery Awards for All grant of £9,978 for our new SPLASH! Project.
The purpose of the project is to consult with, research and develop resources for potential volunteers from disadvantaged groups, who face barriers to volunteering due to a range of issues such as low self-esteem, health issues and disability. Anyone who feels they require support to get into the right voluntary role, can potentially join our new SPLASH! team.
We would like to invite potential new team members, volunteers, and representatives from local voluntary organisations to join our first meeting on Monday January 15th at 2.00pm in Gosport Voluntary Action, Martin Snape House, 96 Pavilion Way, Gosport, PO12 1FG.
SPLASH! volunteers will work with local organisations who currently support volunteers, in order to build on good practice and share experiences across the sector. We hope to literally make a SPLASH! to help open up opportunities for people who are struggling to make that first step.
Volunteering is often a stepping stone to developing skills and confidence for employment, and yet even finding the right volunteering placement can be challenging. If you would like to find out more and see if joining our project group is right for you, then please contact Sue Greene on 02392 604694 or email splash@gva.org.uk.
