Bring people together in Newham – volunteer with Conflict & Change,
Is your local community important to you? Are there changes you’d like to see? You can help bring diverse groups and individuals together in Newham and can benefit from personal development along the way.
Conflict & Change was founded by volunteers back in 1984 and thanks to their inspiration and ceaseless energy our work is ever expanding 25 years later. Volunteers remain at the heart of what we do and are really important in how we keep our work strongly rooted in the communities we work with. We currently have around 50 active volunteers.
Volunteer person profile:
- Share the vision of Conflict and Change.
- Have good listening and communication skills.
- Show good self awareness.
- Can fit in well within a team.
- Have an interest in personal development.
- Are sensitive to cultural differences and customs.
- Are reliable - keep to agreements, respond to messages, are punctual.
- Have a good level of spoken English.
A few key things that we ask from our volunteers:
- You ideally live in Newham. As our work is specifically focused on supporting Newham’s community we prefer to work with volunteers who have strong roots with the area.
- You live in Hackney, Waltham Forest, Redbridge or Barking & Dagenham (neighbouring boroughs without a mediation service) AND have strong links with Newham.
- You can commit to a minimum of one year’s volunteering.
- You are able to volunteer 6 hours per month spread over daytimes, evenings and weekends (this includes ongoing training). The more availability you have, the more opportunities we can provide you.
