Join us for a “Give It a Go” Volunteering Day at our Uniform Drive with Freedom!

Why volunteer? <ul><li>Help children start school with confidence</li><li>Keep uniforms in circulation and out of landfills</li><li>Be part of something bigger than yourself</li></ul> Buying clothing secondhand has a big social and environmental impact. Not only is it more affordable in times of need, it also helps to reduce carbon emissions, waste and use of natural resources.

We invite you to our Community Points engagement session kindly hosted by Bolsover CVS on Wednesday 30th July 10am— 12noon at BCVS Office, 8a Cavendish Walk, Bolsover S44 6DB. The Community Point scheme aims to help victims to cope and recover from crime by developing relationships between Derbyshire Victim Services and community organisations, making referral pathways easier, and ensuring victims can quickly access the right support from the right people. There are two types of community point that an organisation can be: Primary CP: Organisation SPOCs will be trained in identifying and assessing victim need and pathways for support, enabling the organisation to conduct initial assessments with service users and support quicker and efficient referrals into Derbyshire Victim Services DVS would also work closely with Primary CPs to hold drop ins, co-work cases and continually develop the service. Secondary CP: These CPs will be given an input from DVS around awareness of our service and referral pathways. We will still have a strong relationship but would not expect staff from these CPs to undertake initial assessments.&nbsp; For more information about the Community Point scheme please contact either julie.Gregory-Bateman@dvssupport.org or annie.parry@remediuk.org

‘Pre-Charity’ Incubator (The Kingdom Network)&nbsp;Doing something ‘good’ and in the between stage between doing it and starting a charity?Struggling to open a bank account?&nbsp;We had the same thing trying to do something good in our community but really regretted the effort and constant admin requirements, let alone finding experienced trustees of starting a charity. We suddenly realised the number of&nbsp;other people who must be in the same circumstances, so we made a different Charity instead...&nbsp;The Kingdom Network sidelines these challenges of Charity Governance on your behalf like a&nbsp;sort of incubator charity. We can set you up a group bank account to receive funds and spend as you see fit – debit cards, internet banking, the works. Even better? We can add some gift aid.&nbsp;No stress, normal bank account, access to grants, free and clear bookkeeping/reports, no taxation headaches and no Charity Governance headaches -&nbsp;all the benefits of being a charity, but none of the work&nbsp;so you can focus on making a difference.&nbsp;This free one hour webinar is open to all who would like to find out more.
