The Hub’s Community Signposting Project is a really exciting opportunity which brings together all of the activities in Chesterfield community spaces. It is coordinated from The Hub, a community space created and run by Derbyshire Voluntary Action (DVA). We are looking for volunteers from ages 18, with no upper age limit. Community Signposting Volunteers, visit community spaces to document the events and facilities and promote the signposting resources, such as the ‘Whats on Guide To Chesterfield’ which has 95+ groups and events.
Key responsibilities include:
● Attending a weekly catch up: Attend a weekly session at The Hub on Thursday afternoons to organize activities as a team and review the previous week’s progress.
● Visit Community spaces in Chesterfield: Accompanying a fellow volunteer to gather information about their events, services, and facilities (it’s easy to do – we’ll show you how).
● Resource Creation: Help to create, develop, and update project resources if you have computer or creative skills. We need help to create online and offline resources.
● Promote Resources: Distribute the project resources across Chesterfield – for example, within community spaces, community meetings and other ideas.
We are particularly looking for people with a positive attitude and an interest in helping others. You will need the confidence to visit community spaces. Ability to use the internet and complete an online form would be a bonus but is not essential
