Embrace Life!
VOLUNTEER IN SPORT AND CULTURAL
OPPORTUNITIES IN SUFFOLK
Suffolk County Council,
The Suffolk Strategic Partnership, Suffolk Sport and Suffolk
Volunteering Federation have joined forces to promote
volunteering opportunities in Sport and Culture throughout
Suffolk.
The ‘Embrace Life’
campaign provides a unique opportunity to people to explore
exciting opportunities available when volunteering in sport
and recreation, countryside activities, museums, libraries,
archives, theatre, arts and crafts and music.
Councillor Graham Newman, who is portfolio holder for Adult
and Community services, added; ‘The launch of the Embrace
Life campaign provides an excellent
opportunity to recognise the contribution and value of
volunteers in Suffolk and the vast array of volunteering
experiences available within Sport and Culture in Suffolk.
Volunteering in these sectors not only helps local community
activity, but can be a real benefit for the volunteer
themselves – developing new skills and opening potential
doors to a new career.’
The campaign
includes a phone number 08452 235 335 (local rate charge)
for advice and assistance for people interested in
volunteering and the Do-It Org website
www.do-it.org,
providing a single access point to volunteering
opportunities. Internet access is available in all libraries
throughout Suffolk helping open up the opportunities on the
Do-It Org site to more people.
The ‘Embrace Life’
campaign will continue to run throughout the summer ensuring
more people discover their potential through volunteering in
Suffolk.
