BME Volunteers needed in East Midlands

The National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) are recruiting for BME volunteers in the East Midlands to join their team of volunteers who can support families from a BME background.

The volunteers speak a variety of community languages and are from various ethnic minority backgrounds. Many of them have personal experiences of being deaf or having a deaf child.

The support they can provide varies from emotional support and sharing personal experiences to providing communication support for families who do not have English as their first language, providing information on various topics and offering links to other parents or community groups.

For further information and to request an application form contact Rohini Corfield, Positive Families Project Officer on 01858 462886, 07807 767634 or by email at rohini.corfield@ndcs.org.uk.

This initiative is part of the Positive Families, Stronger Communities Project, funded by The National Lottery through Big Lottery Fund.
