Break out into song for another organization who just signed up with us. Today, we welcome New Stages. For more than a quarter century, it has been delivering professional theatre in Peterborough. New Stages is a non-profit charitable organization that works with volunteers, from time to time, to deliver contemporary plays to supportive audiences. Volunteers are also needed to assist in fundraising initiatives. Did you know that the arts is one of the sectors that relies on volunteers more so than most others? Here are the main reasons that people sign up help arts groups, according to a 2023 survey (in order of popularity): - Feeling like I am contributing/giving back in my community - Applying and sharing my knowledge and skills - Learning something new - Meeting new people - Something to do with my free time - Socializing with friends - Free admission or tickets to arts events - Completing required volunteer hours for school, university or other programs Find out more about supporting New Stages here ==> https://buff.ly/3HgNsiZ #VolunteersRock #ItTakesaTeam #Volunteers #Volunteering #Volunteerism #VolunteerPeterborough #WelcomeWednesday

Was an honour to be asked to speak at the latest Quartet Community Foundation event. I used the time to talk about the social model of disability. The social model of disability is the understanding that disability is something that is created by society.  This is because disabled people face barriers that stop them from taking part in society in the same way as non-disabled people. There are physical barriers that disabled people face. These could include things like: - A sign that someone with a visual impairment can’t read.  - An inaccessible building without wheelchair ramps.  - A webpage with flashing animations that could trigger a seizure. There are also social barriers or attitudinal barriers, like stereotypical beliefs that non-disabled people have about disabled people. Assuming that a disabled person “can’t do” something creates a barrier for that person. According to the social model of disability, it’s these barriers that make a person disabled.  Disability isn’t something that exists inside your body or your mind. It’s something that is created by an inaccessible society. Here at Paul's Place, we work to break down these barriers every day.

Today, we celebrate the triumphs of Venkatesh (name changed), Soumya (name changed), and countless others like them. Together, let us continue to nurture dreams, inspire hope, and build a better tomorrow for all. #educationforall #personalizedlearning #transforminglives #hopefulstories #empoweringchildren #educationmatters #communitysupport #dreamchasers #brighterfutures #inspiringhope #changemakers #donate #volunteer #educationempowers #ACTstories

Investing in the potential of youth is a commitment to building a future where every individual sprouts into their greatness. We shape a world where they can have not just dreams, but the belief and tools to turn those dreams into realities. - #LetsSoar #NonProfit #CommunityImpact #YouthEmpowerment #NJNonProfit #NYCNonProfit #GiveBack #SocialGood #ChangeMakers #SupportLocal #Philanthropy #CommunityBuilding #CharityWork #NJCharity #NYCCharity #Volunteerism #HelpingHands #CommunityService #Empowerment #LocalHeroes #NJGivesBack #NYCGivesBack #YouthOrganization

Rafiki Mwema is an organisation founded by volunteers - in fact 94% of our team volunteer their time and talent which allows us to direct the majority of our funds to our mission, not to staff salaries. In a recent Podcast we spoke about volunteering, how important it is to us, how much we value our volunteers, and how you can get involved. We are always looking for people to join our volunteer time and the best way to become involved with Rafiki is jump onto our website and complete the form on the website to become a volunteer. We have a very comprehensive induction program which takes volunteers through the positions that we are hoping to fill or the tasks that we're hoping to assign to volunteers in the future. And we support our volunteers through an interactive platform that allows them to work on particular tasks in their own time and update us on their progress. One of our volunteers, Victoria, says: "I promised myself at a young age that I would never be an adult that looked the other way. I decided that I would always call out bad behaviour, particularly when the consequences of that behaviour impacted those who were too young, too frightened, too traumatised and often lacking the support they need from the adults in their lives. Rafiki Mwema holds people to account for unacceptable behaviours and in doing so, allows children to have the safe and loving childhood they deserve. Being involved with Rafiki Mwema enables me to honour the promise I made to my younger self, to help the critically vulnerable children Rafiki supports and to do what I believe we all have a responsibility to do – what we can, without excuses, to protect those we must. We all have a part to play and looking the other way should not be a choice we make, when we are blessed enough to have the choice at all." If you're able to donate any of your precious time to Rafiki Mwema you can find more info here: https://lnkd.in/db_mfPAV #RafikiMwema #Volunteering #Volunteer #Love #Charity #Community #NonProfit #GiveBack #GivingBack #Travel
