In these challenging times it is becoming harder to plan for the future, with pressures on funding and funders, on statutory services and, of course huge concerns for local residents facing worrying hikes in the cost of living.

Organisations such as Sobus have a responsibility to develop and enable Voluntary & Community Sector organisations to establish, grow, be successful and effective.  However, whilst words such as sustainability, strategic, cross-cutting, needs-led and innovative are often commonplace terminology, for many, particularly the smaller local groups, all these are simply buzz words. “Capacity Building, Organisational Development, Sustainability” What do all these words really mean for our local groups, whether they are constituted unregistered groups, registered charities or community interest companies?

When we explore such terms, the key element is progression.

We want to know what is important to you and what needs to improve to ensure we deliver high quality care and excellent patient and family/ carer experience through these services.

There is an ever-increasing body of scientific research demonstrating the many benefits of nature –  stress alleviation, relaxation and the reduction in symptoms of depression are just a few. It also helps social interaction, so young people make friends more easily and feel less isolated. 

We are offering a free four-week programme, each session lasting 2-hours. Typical activities include walks, some light conservation work or gardening. This is combined with a range of creative activities such as painting, weaving, lino cutting, felting, tie-dye or whittling. There will be time to talk and share collective struggles, and importantly the group form a network of new supportive friends that last beyond the programme.

“The programme has helped me see more of me and less of my disorder. It brought back my identity, as I remembered I have interests that I thought I lost due to my disorder. It helped me refocus on a task, activity or learning process and had a really positive impact on my wellbeing”, a young person who attended our programme.

Sun 3rd April to Sun 1st May (excluding the Easter weekend) from 11am to 1pm at Chiswick House & Gardens, London, W4 2RP

For further information please visit our website, contact us by email or phone 01273 230102.

Young people can book a place on the programme by completing our online Booking Form or there is a Referral Form available.

What are we looking for?

A Chair to join the Board of Trustees at an exciting point in the Charity’s development. Having continued to provide services successfully in the face of COVID, it has recently moved to new premises. We are looking for somebody with the energy and experience to oversee governance and work closely with the Chief Executive to take HF Mencap through the next phase of development, which will include building up reserves further and diversifying the current service provision.

Experience of working in the third sector and being a trustee would be advantageous but not essential, whereas experience of strategic leadership and chairing meetings and/or events is. The role requires the ability to connect and communicate with people with a range of learning disabilities and/or autism to ensure that the charity is meeting their needs. Personal connection to people living with these challenges either by means of a family relationship or work is desirable, but if not present a strong affinity with HF Mencap’s cause is needed.

Why?

Many, especially men, are facing discrimination which prevents them from getting transportation to travel to borders and access accommodation.Many are students of African, Indian and Brazilian heritage who were welcomed just a few months ago by their universities. Many are facing winter for the first time. They were legal residents of Ukraine that are not being afforded safe, humane passage out of danger.

Can you help?

Sonaaar is on the ground working with grassroots organisers and persons in the diaspora who are coordinating efforts to help them out of Ukraine to new host countries.All funds raised will go to grassroots organisers and will be governed and audited by The Ubele Initiative.
