We have 4 new opportunities available to ESV candidates.
Coppice Community Centre are looking for someone to provide ideas and suggestions to improve their website.
They are looking for suggestions on how to make the website more eye-catching and attractive whilst maintaining a professional feel. They also want to look at how they can make the website accessible to members of the community and how they can develop their online presence further through other social networks.
The volunteer will need online marketing experience, preferably web design however this is not essential. They will also need a good eye and be able to provide suggestions to improve the website. This is an opportunity to develop your mentoring skills and an opportunity to gain an insight into how a community centre runs.
Funky Fitness and Fun are an organisation that runs a variety of sessions for adults with learning disabilities. As with the above Coppice opportunity they are looking for someone to provide ideas and suggestions to improve Funky Fitness and Fun website. The volunteer would be able to split their time between both of these organisations.
Funky Fitness and Fun are also looking for an Activity Volunteer. Someone who can run a session and share a personal hobby such as sewing or playing the guitar with adults with learning disabilities.

Potential volunteers will need to have a particular hobby (it can be anything) that you can share
with adults with learning disabilities for example flower arranging, card making, bird box making, sewing, yoga, playing the guitar.
