The Army Cadets is one of Britain’s oldest and most
prestigious youth organisations having been established way back in
1860 and
has helped many young people go on to become confident and successful
members
of society whether they choose to join the full army or not.
The goal for the Army Cadets at the moment is to get a
lot more people to volunteer for the summer. Fortunately the interest
from young people to take part in the Army Cadets is as strong as ever
and so
this is why we need the volunteers to meet the demand.

Your
help would be much appreciated.

Would you make a good puppy walker?
Puppy walking is an essential element in the
development of a future guide dog. Volunteer puppy walkers take a puppy
into their homes for just over a year, getting it used to the hustle
and bustle of everyday life.
The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association provides food for the puppy
and meets veterinary bills. Puppy walkers give their puppy a firm
foundation for its later training and life with a blind or partially
sighted person.
- Do you live in the Liverpool area?
- Are you at home most of the day? (part-time workers
considered)
- Are you 18 years or older?
- Could you commit a year of your time and enthusiasm
to rear a puppy the Guide Dogs way?
- Do you have a securely fenced garden/yard?
If you can or someone you know can answer yes to these
questions and you would like to know more (including details of the
areas we cover), please contact:
Shirley Cohen on 0113 284 4224 (Mob. 07990 540228)

Have fun. Get empowered.
Bring
your friends. Who said saving the planet was boring?
300,000 people will be
killed
by climate change this year: it’s not a future problem
Climate change is affecting people in poor countries now, destroying
livelihoods, villages and causing climate-related deaths. Oxfam
believes ordinary people can do something about this – and that means
you.
Are you part of a community group in the North West, be it sport, arts,
education-related, or even a pressure group?
Then get your group involved in a campaigning project with Oxfam.
It’s completely up to you what form it takes: making a video for your
MP, hosting a Climate
Hearing in your community; arts & crafts, debates, films and talks…
whatever zany action takes your fancy, it can really have an impact!
We’re at a crucial moment right now to get real action on climate
change, and you have the power to do something – together, we’re
stronger.
So whatever your interest, whatever your group, get them together and
call Heather at the North West office on 0161 234 2924 or email hwilliams@oxfam.org.uk
to find out more.

Calling all adults!
We greatly value our adult volunteers, without whom the
organisation could not function, and support and train them, whatever
their previous experience and skills.
There are opportunities for both teaching the Cadets in
the enormous variety of subjects that we offer, and also supporting
their activities via Parents’ and Supporters’ Associations and Unit
Management Committees. We need administrators and DIY experts; people
willing to run the snack bar and others to drive the minibus; canoeists
and IT enthusiasts. If you’ve got a skill, we can find an outlet for
it. And you can even pick up some new skills and qualifications
yourself along the way!
The financial support that we receive from the Royal
Navy enables us to offer our uniformed volunteers a number of days'
training pay each year.
It doesn't matter whether you’ve got previous
experience dealing with young people or not - we're just looking for
willing volunteers who want to be part of the team and enjoy the
satisfaction of seeing Cadets develop and mature. As you’d expect, all
our volunteers are rigorously vetted.
Contact your local Unit for information about the
openings in your area. We look forward to meeting you.

VESL is a charity that provides unique, exciting and
worthwhile volunteering opportunities in Sri Lankan and Indian
communities. Each year VESL recruits volunteers to run a variety of
different educational projects. Volunteers are placed together in small
teams or with a partner. Student volunteers can either work on 4/5 week
placements in the summer or on longer projects around the year. They
are given training in the UK and an induction session on arrival.
Volunteers receive comprehensive back-up and support during their
placement.
What makes us different from many other organisations
sending volunteers overseas is:
- VESL is run by volunteers so costs are kept to a
minimum
- VESL starts by looking for worthwhile projects and
then matches volunteers skills and experiences to them
- VESL is a charity
- VESL runs an education fund which regularly donates
money to projects in Asia.
Our aim is to set up and run well-structured,
well-supported and worthwhile placements for volunteer in the neediest
Sri Lankan and Indian communities. We would love to hear from you if
you fancy taking up the challenge of working on one of these
placements.

For over forty years Young Enterprise North West has been inspiring
young people to learn and succeed in the global economy, with the
support of UK businesses.
Through a diverse portfolio of programmes Young Enterprise North West
can improve employability, entrepreneurial and life skills, whilst
making a real difference to the lives and potential of young people.
By supporting the delivery of its programmes Young Enterprise North
West can provide you with a measurable and cost-effective method of
enhancing the management knowledge and potential of your employees.
Helping to deliver its programmes will develop interpersonal skills
including self-confidence, communication and presentation skills.
Employees can be challenged by exposure to unfamiliar situations. In
addition your organisation will discover a unique opportunity to shape
the future of your local community.
Young Enterprise North West brings enterprise education to young people
throughout the region by teaching them about the world of work, helping
them set goals, plan for their future and
learn the skills necessary to succeed in a fast changing world. Whether
you can offer financial assistance by joining the YENW Council,
providing volunteers or pointing it in the direction of someone who may
want to be involved please make contact. Some young people have neither
a connection with business nor a role model to inspire them to succeed
in life - Young Enterprise is filling this gap - with your help!
