New Good Neighbours Charity!

13/10/2021

Background

Radyr and Morganstown Community Council is delighted to be supporting a new local charity, the Radyr and Morganstown Good Neighbours CIO (1195016).

With a grant of £10,000 per annum the Community Council will play a key role in helping to launch the charity - and support its vision and aims.

The charity will provide support to people living in Radyr and Morganstown, including those who may be lonely or isolated - or who want to make connections with others living locally. This will include supporting older and disabled people as well as their families and carers.

It will offer a range of services, such as:

Providing information and answering queries
Signposting to services and activities
Practical support such as befriending, shopping and transport
Setting up activities and events such as support groups, coffee mornings, craft clubs and cultural celebrations
Delivering regular learning/ training events such as becoming tech savvy, gentle exercise, yoga, health and wellbeing

We're looking for a coordinator!

But none of this will be possible without an enthusiastic, well organised co-ordinator with excellent people skills - able to engage with all sections of the community, identify needs, set up new services and recruit and support volunteers.

The coordinator will work 12 hours per week - and will be paid £23,088 (pro rata) per annum.

Could this be you?!

You would be supported by the charity's Trustees - and would help develop the scheme's range of services, from the start.

This is a great opportunity for somone looking for part-time work - and who enjoys helping others.

If you are interested, please contact Vina Patel (Trustee and Vice Chair of the Community Council) for further information and an application pack. She can be reached at [email protected].

Just want to volunteer?

If you don't want to work as the charity's coordinator, but would like to help by volunteering, please contact Vina so that she can add you to our list of volunteers. Their work won't start, however, until the coordinator is appointed - and the first projects are up-and-running.

This charity has the potential to make a huge difference to the lives of many people across Radyr and Morganstown. Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated!
