Brokerage Project

 

The Brokerage Project's role is to help new and current volunteers to realise their ReceptionSuitepotential by matching them with suitable voluntary opportunities of their choice which will help them to either enhance their existing skills, or develop new ones.

Our Volunteer Development Officer - Ann Gay - runs the brokerage Project

Opportunities and Organisations Project

 

This Project has two strands - one is to involve more organisations in creating more opportunities for volunteers, and is headed up by our Volunteer Opportunities Development Officer - Trisha Black

The other is about ensuring that voluntary organisations in the borough have access to best practice techniques and processes. This project will help some 45 local organisations attain the 'Investing in Volunteering' Quality Mark. It is led by our Good Practice and Standards Officer - Dick Tapsall

 

Capital Volunteering

 

Capital Volunteering is a 3 year pan-London programme in partnership with Community Service Volunteers, the National Institute for Mental Health and four London Mental Health Trusts including NELMHT. This project aims to reduce the reliance of people with mental health problems on intensive acute and secondary mental health services by creating a new skills foundation, strengthening the preventative and self-help elements of mental health service delivery, by engaging with communities and through the active involvement of volunteers. The ultimate goal is to give every person cared for under the Care Programme Approach the choice and opportunity to volunteer or to be matched with a volunteer.

We're pleased to announce that we've just appointed two new members of staff to run the project - Supported Volunteering Officer - Emily Smith - and Volunteer Placement Officer - Sue Grant. You can download a pdf about the project here
