Gifts and Cakes for Volunteers

Description

Ask: Can you help Changes thank their volunteers for their services to the East Lothian Community?

About

Changes Community Health Project was established in 1996 to promote the positive wellbeing of people living in East Lothian.

Growing from a local community initiative, over the years Changes has developed a range of tried and tested self-help groups and courses, counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy services, mental health awareness training, together with well supported volunteer opportunities, where volunteers co-facilitate groups and courses and lead the Healthy Living Project activities.

Their services are free and open to everyone in East Lothian, and they can help with a variety of challenges.

Changes have up to 50 volunteers at any time (many with their own mental ill health struggles), and they love taking the opportunity to say thank you. They have about four volunteer recognition events each year.

 

The Ask: Could you donate £50 to help them buy gifts and cakes for volunteers at these events?

“It is very important that we show our volunteers how much we value them; many of our services could not be run without them. This donation would allow us to purchase small gifts of thanks for our amazing volunteer team, who put their heart and soul into supporting our community.

Thanking our volunteers helps them feel valued and appreciated, and they are more likely to stay with us longer.”
