Work Coaches and business mentors wanted!
We are looking for volunteers to deliver business modules and to create and deliver content around starting your own business and wellbeing on a voluntary basis.

Suitable for -
A growing number of people are housebound, isolated and lonely, or at risk of becoming so.
Bird feeding can provide great pleasure to those who are housebound and a weekly visit by a bird feeding friend can offer valuable regular social contact.
Volunteers are matched with someone in the community (preferably nearby in adjacent streets) who is isolated or at risk of becoming so, with the aim of helping them attract birds to their garden.
Volunteers will visit clients in their home, once/twice a week for up to an hour, to help feed the birds. This will include,putting up bird feeders, cleaning them, replacing seed and chatting about birds that have been using the feeders.
Days and times to suit the volunteer and client
All bird feeding equipment will be provided, including feed and a simple guide to recognise the birds that are visiting the garden.
Meeting Point House is owned by Meeting Point Trust Ltd, an independent registered charity.
Meeting Point House supports 12 local charities with office accommodation, provides meeting rooms with a capacity of 2 - 100 and is also home to the Hummingbird cafe.
We are looking to strengthen our Board by adding additional Trustees. Applications are open to all, however, we would be very interested to meet anybody that has a background working within finance or has experience within the voluntary or charitable sector.
What you will be doing:
As a Trustee you will help develop and set the strategic aims, objectives, and direction of the charity. The skills and knowledge you bring will enhance the Board and support the Trust.
Trustees can be active in the business and delivery of events. They can participate in the daily activities that take place inside Meeting Point House, such as assisting in the Hummingbird Café, being a friendly, welcoming face at reception, lending a helpful hand in our maintenance department or helping with admin tasks. Likewise Trustees can play a more strategic and guiding role. All have something to offer the Trust.
Our Board of Trustees meet formally 4 times a year. Meetings take place on a midweek day, either mornings or afternoons and last for approximately 60 - 90 minutes.
The daily operation of Meeting Point House falls under our CEO and the team who welcome any additional involvement/input from the Trustee's.
In return we offer a range of training courses ranging from Food Safety, Compliance, First Aid and Safeguarding to name but a few.
