More Trees For B&NES Brief Description of Organisation More Trees BANES is a not-for-profit community group, that works hard to protect and plant trees in our local area. Set up in 2008, we are run entirely by volunteers. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation More Trees BANES is a not-for-profit community group, that works hard to protect and plant trees in our local area. Set up in 2008, we are run entirely by volunteers. We’ve planted approximately 8,000 trees so far, and are currently scaling up our work significantly. There is a huge groundswell of desire to plant and protect trees – we provide a simple means for people to take easy, positive actions. Everything we’ve achieved, has been through people rolling up their sleeves and helping out in their spare time. We have so much fun, getting our hands dirty, meeting like-minded people whilst spending time in the great outdoors. During the winter, we’re planting trees, and for the rest of the year, we go back to give the young trees TLC (weeding, mulching, restaking etc). As well as grunt work like this, we need volunteers to help us behind the scenes e.g. representing us at events, fundraising, spreading the word, planning projects, building our website, producing content, social media, managing finances etc. We would love to hear from you. Perhaps you have a little time on your hands and fancy coming along one of our planting/TLC events, or perhaps you’d like to help us behind the scenes. We need people to offer their time, and need help from skilled volunteers as well as those with no experience whatsoever.

Keynsham Action Network Brief Description of Organisation Keynsham Action Network is an experiment. We want to see if this mostly middle class town can find its power and its passion. We are doing this because the world needs people who have come alive. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Keynsham Action Network is an experiment. We want to see if this mostly middle class town can find its power and its passion. We are doing this because the world needs people who have come alive. Keynsham Action Network or ‘KAN’ is the response of a group of Keynsham residents to what we see as a loss of connection and a loss of deep meaning in our culture . Everywhere there is evidence of this: epidemic loneliness in the young as much as the old, socially determined illness overwhelming our health services, young people leaving education unprepared for a life of purpose and achievement, being careless of our natural environment, widespread substance abuse and prisons overflowing with inmates. There is neither a single nor simple answer. And it is certainly not sufficient to pour all our effort into trying to fix the individual problems that confront us. We need to save some of our energy and resources for looking behind these problems towards their deeper causes. This task cannot be left to others. These deeper problems belong to all of us. Nor can we expect individuals to sort out the mess. It requires ordinary people working together. We are social creatures, we all live in a community, often in several communities. It makes sense for the community to be the test bed for change. KAN is a voluntary organisation formed at the end of 2011. It is currently an unincorporated association. We have a steering group of seven local residents who meet every 6-8 weeks to make key decisions about progress and direction. We are supported by an administrator, Jill Herrett, for one day per week. Our members are listed below with a few sentences about each of us. Every steering group member has a particular role in the organisation. Our funding comes from local fundraising in the town (such as donations at events) with support through St Augustine’s Medical Practice in Keynsham and project grants from various generous local funders.

Job opportunity at Radstock Museum - Community Programme Manager (part time) Previous Job Next Job Somerset Coalfield Life at Radstock Museum is seeking a part-time Community Programme Manager (CPM) to start work in August/September 2022. Pilot schemes run throughout 2019 led to the hugely successful setting-up of community cafes in the Museum that offered a quiet and relaxed environment for people living with memory issues and their carers to meet, enjoy light refreshments and talk. These sessions were run by a part time employee with help from Museum volunteers, and included items from the Museum and its wealth of heritage to help memory recall and sharing experiences. The success of these sessions led to funding for a CPM being awarded by the St Johns Foundation to allow expansion of the programme to include other community groups such as those interested in local history (with AgeUK) and veterans (with the Royal British Legion). The Community Programme Manager will be primarily responsible for managing and running the community café sessions in the Museum with help from volunteers. The Museum’s community engagement programme also includes a wide range of other internal and external events which support community activities whilst also raising the Museums’s profile and the funds to support its future development. The CPM will play a part in co-ordinating and helping to organise this programme, supported by Museum volunteers. The holder of this post will report to the Trustees through the Chair. It is offered as a part-time position (15 hrs/week, to include community cafes, generally on Mondays (am and/or pm) and Fridays am) and is initially available for one year with potential to extend for a second year. The salary will be in the region of £17,500 pa pro rata (based on 35 hr week). Please apply by email to chairman@radstockmuseum.co.uk . The deadline is 5pm on Friday 1st July.

Job opportunity at Life Project (Bath) - Deputy Director & Day Services Manager Previous Job Next Job FOR FULL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIFE PROJECT GO TO OUR WEBSITE www.lifeprojectbath.org.uk For an informal conversation about the post, contact Tom Peryer (Interim Director) at tomperyer@lifeprojectbath.org.uk or call on 07733 897227 SOME BASIC INFORMATION Our Vision An inclusive world in which people with learning disabilities know they belong. Our Mission To create and model supportive community for people with learning disabilities, their families, and carers. Our Objectives To provide purposeful activities which value the holistic needs and well-being of each individual and the community. To create an environment that promotes social development and nurtures healthy relationships. To offer platforms for people to express their uniqueness to the world around them and opportunities for those who want, to develop their faith. Our Ethos The values of The Life Project (Bath) are at the heart of who we are and what we do – they are guided by a Christian ethos. These values have strong roots in the Christian teaching and practice, whilst also being accessible and meaningful for all – regardless of background. We believe that every person is unique – fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:4) – and is a valuable gift to the world and our community. The work of the Life Project, its staff, volunteers and service users, are supported by prayer. Our History The Life Project was started by a group of Christian families with young adults who have learning disabilities. The group formed in 2009 and was registered as a charity and limited company in 2011 Initially a Christian fellowship group met on a regular basis – this has continued to this day and is now known as ‘Springs’. A range of social activities were organised to develop a sense of community amongst the families who were caring for both children and adults with learning disabilities. Discussions were also ongoing about developing ‘homes for life’ now known as supported living accommodation – something we are still concerned to facilitate today. In 2014 daytime activities were developed at the Old Acorn Barn in Englishcombe. From the beginning everything planned and developed has been rooted in Christian principles and ethos, and our mission has continued to be the promotion and protection of the health and well-being of people with learning disabilities and their families in Bath and surrounding areas. Our Services Currently the Life Project provides the following range of services and activities: A: Day Services The core of the Life Project’s provision is undertaken at the Old Acorn Barn in Englishcombe. Three days a week, a range of creative activities are provided for up to 10 ‘Makers’ (our chosen word for ‘service user’!) by three Activity Leaders. One person acts as Team or Session Leader for the Day (9:30 – 14.30). The Trustees wish to add a fourth day and eventually a fifth day’s activities. These activities run during school term times. During the school summer holidays, a programme of excursions is organised. Running parallel with the activities at the Barn, the Life Project has a very large allotment in the allotments in Monksdale Rd, Bath. Makers go there most weeks (weather permitting) as part of their day. The allotment is a great resource but it has the potential to become a much greater resource than it is at present. The Trustees very much hope to find ways (and funding) to develop the allotment. NB: The Deputy Director will have operational responsibility for the smooth functioning of these Day Services. There is an expectation that the person appointed to the Deputy Director post will also lead a creative activity at the Barn for one of their three days a week contract. B: Springs Christian Fellowship Springs is a Christian Fellowship for adults with learning disabilities that meets together on the 2nd and 4th Monday evening of each month. Currently it meets at the Weston Hub in Weston, Bath. The evening includes building friendships by sharing news over a drink and refreshments, worshipping (often using Makaton signing) and learning more about the Christian faith – often through drama or other creative activities. Often at the end of ‘term’, there are special occasions such as meals out, the Christmas social, or BBQ’s. C: Social Events Social activities are scheduled four or five times per year and are designed for those the Life Project supports plus friends and family members, but others who want to join in are welcome. Rambles, barn dancing, bowling and pizza-making alongside an annual curry evening – all make for fun times and fellowship. Sometimes these events are used as fund-raiser as well.
