    Nature Conservation Volunteers

    This opportunity takes place on 05 Apr 2025

    Date: Saturday 6th April 2025

    Time: 11:00 am - 3:30 pm

    Meeting place: Outside Pret

    Eleven years ago, Friends of Canley Green Spaces and Warwick Volunteers planted 420 trees that have now grown into a woodland. Volunteers will be revisiting the tree planting site in Park Wood, to cut away unwanted vegetation from around the trees. This will improve the appearance of the new woodland, giving the trees more light to ensure that they grow healthy. 

    Tools and gloves are provided. No experience is needed. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and strong shoes or boots that you don't mind getting a little muddy. Holly has prickly leaves, so wear old clothes that fully cover your arms, legs and ankles.

    Volunteers can borrow wellies and raincoats from Warwick Volunteers. 

    Light snacks will be provided. It is recommended to bring additional snacks and bottled water.

    We encourage you to get in touch if you have any specific access requirements, or need more information about the content and delivery method of a specific volunteering opportunity. If you have any requests related to a disability, please email volunteers@warwick.ac.uk giving at least two working days’ notice if possible.

    *By signing up to this event I also agree to give 48 hours notice if I need to cancel my place*

It is also a vibrant community hub.

    We would ask if volunteers could commit to one shift per week, either 10-1 or 1-4. Especially in need for Saturdays.

    Warwick Digital Cafe

    This opportunity takes place between 09 Apr 2025 and 09 Apr 2025 Closing date for applications is 09 Apr.

    Volunteers work with older people on a one-to-one basis, helping them to use their laptops, phones and tablets. We are now based in Kenilworth with transport provided or direct by bus from the bus interchange. Register your interest to join the Warwick Digital Cafe mailing list.

    We help older people use their phones, tablets and laptops so that they can remain independent and connected with the community. 

    The clients are mostly elderly people from the local area. There is NO previous experience required! If you know how to work your phone/laptop/tablet then you'll be able to help the older learners to use theirs. Often you'll be teaching them quite basic skills like how to use Google Maps, share photos and send emails. In the event that something that you are unfamiliar with arises during the sessions, one of the project leaders will always be there to help!

    The Kenilworth Community Centre is in Kenilworth and can be reached by a bus service direct from the Bus Interchange on campus, the fare being refunded by Warwick Volunteers at the end of the term.

    We will meet at 1:20pm at the bus interchange to take the 11 bus to Kenilworth. Sessions last from 2:00pm to 3:30pm on various dates depending on the availability of student volunteers.

    Volunteer Children & Young People's Wellbeing Mentor

    South Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind

    This opportunity takes place between 26 Feb 2025 and 01 Mar 2026

    If you’d like to use your people and listening skills to support others to better wellbeing, then this role could be for you! Volunteers will support a child or young person (aged 5-17) by acting as a mentor to them. They’ll provide the opportunity for the younger person to continue to build their resilience and confidence to improve their mental health and wellbeing through the development of real life social and practical skills.

    At Coventry, Warwickshire & Worcestershire Mind, we know that the importance of maintaining and improving children and young people’s health is so important. Healthy children are more likely to become healthy adults. As part of this role, volunteers will mentor a child or young person and support them to put together and carry out a Wellbeing Action Plan.

    The aim of the mentoring programme is to provide the opportunity for the younger person to continue to build their resilience and confidence and improve their wellbeing through developing practical and social skills in line with the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’. Volunteers will equip the child or young person to develop coping strategies and mechanisms for self-help.

    Volunteers will:

    • Meet weekly with a child or young person, either online or in person (this may be a combination of both depending on the needs of the person)
    • Actively listen to the child or young person
    • Support the child or young person to put together and carry out a Wellbeing Action Plan
    • Prepare for ongoing sessions to check in on how things are going
    • Provide ongoing support until the sessions are completed (we anticipate each child or young person receiving up to 6 sessions as part of this programme)

     

    Skills and Experience

    This volunteering role does not require any specific skills or experience. We are looking for people who are:

    • Keen to help make a difference in the local community
    • Able to demonstrate empathy and a friendly and welcoming attitude
    • Good communicators who are able to actively listen
    • Willing to learn and be creative in finding solutions
    • Able to demonstrate good organisation and planning skills and reliability
    • Able to support and empower others to identify and make beneficial changes to support their wellbeing

    We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of mental health challenges or with an academic interest in the issues that affect mental health.

     

    Screening

    South Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind follows a volunteer recruitment process that requires all volunteers to undertake an interview and provide references. Volunteers who have contact with the people who use our services will also need to complete an Enhanced DBS check (at no extra cost to volunteers). This is to protect the vulnerable groups who use our services.

    Please note that if you have lived outside of the UK within the last 5 years, you will need to provide a Certificate of Good Conduct to cover the period you lived there for in order to volunteer in this role.
