Growing Hope
Growing Hope champions accessibility and provides free therapy clinics for children with additional needs in partnership with local churches across the UK. 
Description

Growing Hope attend lots of conferences throughout the year sharing our vision for free therapy clinics in the hope of raising financial support, engagement with our Christian Therapists Forum, or potential trainees for our parent/sibling support courses. We tend to focus on Christian conferences or school-focused conferences. 

This opportunity would allow the volunteer to attend the conference for free, whilst running the exhibiting stall either during the breaks or as part of a rota. You will be helping us with our day conferences. 

Volunteer would ideally be someone confident in speaking to strangers and intuitive. 

Duties

Collecting resources from main office (either Caledonian Road or Kentish Town). These are usually in a backpack or a wheeled duffle bag. 

Travelling to conference (ideally local, but could be further afield, travel is covered)

Setting up exhibition stall including assembling clip-together shelving unit, setting out flyers and logging into appropriate tech such as ipad for newsletter signup and zettle for online payments. 

Talking to interested parties about the different ways to get involved with Growing Hope. This would include enthusing support of Growing Hope, deciphering which project they would be most interested in and then handing over appropriate resources. 

Who will the volunteers be working with?
Network Development Manager- will communicate with the conference lead around dates, provisions etc. I will also organise the resources needed, and liaise with the volunteer to plan/prepare.

Conference lead- on the day it is likely that the conference lead would be the volunteers main contact.
Training
Growing Hope induction

Time commitment

Flexible commitment. I send out an email termly which has all our engagements for people to sign up for. We would ask for you to try and commit to one event a term.

This organisation is one of our community partner organisations.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working to keep you safe and supported whilst you volunteer.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
