Would you consider volunteering?
ANYONE interested in volunteering for the Department of Health or other of the island’s voluntary/charitable organisations is being invited to come along to the Sefton Hotel in Douglas on Saturday.
They’ll have the opportunity to ‘speed date’ up to 30 organisations eager to recruit those with some time to spare.
The event will be one of the island’s biggest-ever volunteer recruitment initiatives, providing those who want to find out more about volunteering but who are unsure where to start, with the chance to find out more information about roles on offer and maybe even find their ‘perfect match’.
The event is being organised by the Noble’s Hospital volunteer service and will take place in the hotel’s Garden Room between 10am and 2pm.
The aim is to give prospective volunteers an opportunity to chat to potential voluntary organisations and find out whether they ‘match’, with the hope of forming many great and lasting partnerships.
Alison Lester, Noble’s Hospital volunteer service manager, said: ‘We have had an enormous amount of interest from organisations across the voluntary sector, ranging from health-related services to the ManxSPCA.
‘This will be a fantastic opportunity for organisations to showcase their services and actively recruit volunteers, as well as for potential volunteers to find out more. It will be great fun and I would encourage anyone who is interested in volunteering to attend – the event simply can’t work without them. This is, hopefully, something we would like to be able to facilitate annually.
‘The Sefton Group has kindly sponsored the event this year, which will be taking place in the Garden Room. It is a very exciting venture to be spearheading, and within days of announcing it the places filled up and now we have, potentially, 30 organisations who will be present on the day – which will make this day unforgettable for both, organisations and the public.’
