Fairtrade Fortnight 2015
This runs from 23 February to 8 March and ends with an
ecumenical service in our church at 6pm on Sunday 8 March.
Don't forget to look out for fairly traded products while you're
shopping - and if you buy anything from Greggs before 8 March
they'll give you a free Fairtrade coffee! And remember to check
out what our Fairtrade stall in the Grisedale Room has to offer.
One to One Mentoring Services provides offenders leaving
custody or serving community sentences with individual support
to overcome barriers to rehabilitation. These barriers may arise
from social exclusion, limited basic skills, low self esteem,
financial and accommodation problems and a range of other
issues. Service users will be encouraged to move on to play a
more positive part in the wider community, including moving on
into further education and employment.
Volunteers will be provided with training, introductions and
ongoing support to help service users to engage with resources
in the community in accordance with a sentence plan provided
by Probation professionals.
None of the service users on this project will have been assessed
as posing a high risk of harm in the community.
It is important that any volunteer is non-judgemental, has a
respectful attitude and believes that people are capable of
change. They would need to understand the rules of
confidentiality and be patient, empathetic and positive about
helping people move forward in their lives.
For further information on the One to One Mentoring Service,
please contact me or come to The Quaker Meeting House
onThursday 19 March at 7.30pm
