Status Parent Idea: Combating Loneliness and Isolation Amongst Older People read

Date created: 17 Jan 2012 Team v are a group of young people inspired to make positive change in their local communities. We're currently running a campaign about loneliness and isolation amongst older people. This is an issue that believe to be very important as recent estimates place the number of people aged over 65 who are often or always lonely at over 1 million.
There are 3 aspects: Talk, Socialise, Connect.... more

Founder(s): Jo - Team v SE London Idea Status: Underway

Action: Marketing, PR and Publicising!!


 

I need volunteers to help raise awareness of the campaign. You will mostly be using social media and the internet to spread the word, but will need to attend one initial meeting, and potentially help distribute leaflets and posters. Any other creative ideas that will help promote the campaign will be welcomed! Time commitment would be the full length of the campaign, which is approximately 6-7 weeks, but you can commit to as little as 1 hour per week.

You need to be able to travel around the Lewisham borough comfortably - predominantly Catford and Brockley. You will be reimbursed for travel expenses. Benefits include pizza at the initial meeting, certificates for those that volunteer 10 hours or more, and the opportunity to receive vouchers for your hard work.
If you are interested in getting involved in a different way, please contact me to see how you can help. There will be some one-day roles available in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out.
Please feel free to apply for all three volunteer roles if you can commit to the full 7 weeks of the campaign!

Want to apply? email jo.newell@vinspired.com or head to the Team v website: www.vinspired.com/teamv and find me in the leaders section, username littlestar87. Check out my opportunity and click "I'd like to do this."

Team v is a new programme, administered by vinspired, in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) and the Rank Foundation designed to activate a network of young people leading social action campaigns across England. v will give team leaders an inspiring package of training, tools and tactics to recruit their teams of volunteers and lead the campaigns.
