SCT Community Connection Champion (Shawbury)

What are Serving Community Teams? 

Volunteers are the lifeblood of SSAFA. SSAFA has developed Serving Community Teams for volunteers to support serving personnel their families in the UK and overseas. 

A Serving Community Team is run by a small team of volunteers on or near a British Armed Forces base which provide emotional, practical and financial support to the serving community. Our volunteer Community Connection Champions are an integral part of the team, planning, organising and running events and activities to support those feeling lonely or socially isolated within the local serving community.

Requirements 

Volunteers need to be a minimum of 18 years old 

Time commitment 

Depending on the needs of the team, this role would suit someone who would like to volunteer 1-2 hours a week. There may be times when attendance is required for a team meeting which may be in person or virtually.

Support 

Full training is provided for this role, with some e-learning modules online and a live Teams webinar. You will also be supported by your SCT chair and the Serving Community Support Team. 

SSAFA Values 

For SSAFA, our values of commitment, compassion, integrity and understanding underpin everything we do, and we ask that all volunteers are equally committed to them.
