Building Bridges is looking for a volunteer photographer to help us digitise a beautiful collection of full-colour illustrations created by one of our members, who has a learning disability. These drawings will form part of an exciting storytelling project. Once professionally photographed, the images will be used in presentations, on our website, and in a storybook we are developing. What you’ll be doing: • Taking high-resolution, high-quality photographs of original artwork • Ensuring accurate colour representation and clarity • Saving and clearly cataloguing digital files in our Google Drive Approximately two-thirds of the illustrations are already complete, with more being finalised. We are looking for someone who can commit a few hours per week over around six weeks, until all artwork has been photographed. This is a lovely opportunity to support a creative project and help amplify the voice and talent of an artist with a learning disability. Pre-agreed travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Dozens of local charities, serving thousands of local people, are in need of a helping hand. It may be a coat of paint in the community room, a clear up of the car park or a bit of advice about the web site. A bit of help from your company could be just the ray of sunshine needed to brighten a grey day. Here at SCVO we can let you know who needs help, and if needed arrange the whole of your Team Day, accommodating the needs of your staff so they have a brilliant time whilst helping others.

Can you spare an hour a month to support our local community litter pick? We meet on the first Saturday of every month at 10am at The Dorothy Parkes Centre and focus on litter picking areas that run along Thimbelmill Brook. Thimblemill Brook is a valued local conservation area and an important site of ecological interest. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including nesting moorhens, woodpeckers, kingfishers and herons. Sadly, littering remains an ongoing problem along the brook, and we urgently need more volunteers to help care for and preserve this special place. Whether you’re passionate about wildlife, care about your local environment, or simply want to give something back to the community, every pair of hands makes a real difference. If you can spare just one hour a month, we would love to hear from you. All ages are welcome. Children under the age of 16 Years old must be accompanied by an adult. Together, we can keep Thimblemill Brook clean, safe and thriving for wildlife and future generations.
