Our Work

Volunteering

We have a pool of volunteers of all ages who:

Help with the one-to-one support described within this website
Act as a representative of their village on the SGNS committee
Help with preparing and distributing publicity, organising and/or helping at SGNS events
Help at community events

Volunteering can be a rewarding experience and is entirely flexible to fit around your commitments.

If you are interested in joining us and have an occasional hour to spare, please contact us.

Contact SGNS, giving details of the help or support that you need.
The coordinator will then match your request with one of the available volunteers and may arrange for you to meet one another.
We keep in touch to check that you are happy with the arrangement and do our best to sort out any problems that might arise.
If you need to contact us urgently at any time, we recommend that you ring the Telephone Helpline number (see 'How to get help')
If we do not have a suitable volunteer available we may offer to keep you on a waiting list, as it may be likely that a volunteer will become available later.
If we are unable to assist, we will do our best to point you in the right direction for other sources of help.

Here are just a few examples of how SGNS can help:

We also provide extra hands at community events and give support to community groups.
