VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES AT ALYTH
If you would like to volunteer at Alyth, we are currently looking especially for members to help with the following roles: - Minibus drivers to help members who are unable to come in other ways to join us in person for services and events; - Drivers to bring participants to and from our Monday Club on a Monday night; - Members to help with our online service and event provision, so friends and members can join us from home; - Visitors for our new Alyth Home Visit Project; - Members to help prepare tea for the Alyth Social on a Monday afternoon - Volunteers for our homeless night shelter. To contribute in one of these ways, please email lynette@alyth.org.uk, or to help with online provision, adam@alyth.org.uk or with the night shelter elliott@alyth.org.uk
Over the next 18 months, during our building project, our use of space at Alyth is very challenging. The number of available rooms to accommodate our breadth of activities is now significantly reduced.
We are therefore asking that, for some events in our programme, members and friends please still let us know in advance that you are coming. You will find links for these events in the weekly email.
Knowing in advance will allow us to allocate appropriate spaces for different activities. By knowing numbers, and whether people are joinng us in person or online, we can ensure that activities take place in a space that has an appropriate capacity, set up, and technology. During the build period, we do not have a lift, so please also let us know if you are coming to an activity and cannot use the stairs by including this information in your registration or by emailing alythadmin@alyth.org.uk.
