ENGLISH:

At 26 Letters, we believe that it is the educational programme that should adapt to students and not the other way around. We also believe in the importance of mainstreaming ethical concepts in all our subjects, including Maths! This is why we develop our own educational materials so that they can later be personalized and adapted to each student’s needs and interests.

This is only possible thanks to our incredible curriculum development team. Our volunteers work from home with the aim of designing comprehensive, ethical and fun materials. They work independently, creating their own schedules and developing their books with total creative liberty.

At 26 Letters we all learn by doing! So, if you want to join the team you do not need to worry about previous experience. Tamar Taibo, co-founder and director of the department, will guide you and help you design your materials with all the care and patience of the world!

ESPAÑOL:

En 26 Letters creemos que es el programa escolar el que debe adaptarse a lxs estudiantes y no al revés. También creemos en la importancia de integrar temas éticos en todas las asignaturas, ¡incluyendo matemáticas! Es por esto que no solo diseñamos nuestros propios libros, sino que además los personalizamos y adaptamos a las necesidades y gustos concretos de cada estudiante.

Esto solo es posible gracias al increíble trabajo de nuestro equipo de desarrollo curricular. Nuestras personas voluntarias trabajan desde sus respectivos países con el objetivo de crear materiales educativos integrados, éticos y divertidos. Trabajan de manera independiente, creando sus propios horarios y desarrollando sus libros con total libertad creativa.

Tamar Taibo, cofundadora y directora del departamento, les guía y ayuda a la hora de crear los materiales, por lo que no se necesita experiencia previa para unirse al equipo. Al fin y al cabo, ¡la mejor manera de aprender es aprender haciendo! Si te ha sonado interesante esto de crear libros, simplemente contáctanos, ¡nos encantará escuchar tus ideas!

Here at Sepsis Research FEAT, we have been growing fast. As we do so we’ve been talking about volunteer groups and how we get them up and running across the UK to support the vital fundraising, research & awareness work that we do.

We know that things have moved on recently though – our supporters have more pressures on their time than ever before, a lot of you are now working from home, you often find it hard to make a regular volunteering commitment and you are also the kind of lovely people who like to spread the love and support a number of different causes.

So that’s why we have launched the Sepsis Research FEAT Action Team!

It’s a really flexible and easy way to volunteer for our charity – designed to fit around you and the way you live. You can dip in and out whenever you have the time.

The team runs via a private group on Facebook and we use it to feed out opportunities regularly to the group so that our Action Team members can decide what really sparks their interest, what they feel they can manage and what they’d like to jump on and give us a hand with.

We post opportunities regularly detailing all sorts of different types of help that we need, but it isn’t a one-way street – we encourage members to give us feedback on what we’re doing, and we love to see chat between team members UK-wide, sharing thoughts and ideas.

The key word is ‘Action’!

And that action has real value – an hour of your time is worth anywhere between £10 and £20 to us as an organisation, sometimes even more. If, for example, you could offer us the benefit of your skills and service for something like a photography assignment, the value is what we would have had to pay a professional to come and do the same job. The donation of your time and expertise really does count.

If you’d like to join our Sepsis Research FEAT Action Team: (await response from Eve 28.4.22)

Email us now at info@sepsisresearch.org.uk with the subject header ‘Yes please: I’d like to join the Sepsis Research FEAT Action Team’

If you don’t already have a Sepsis Research FEAT T-shirt let us know ASAP and we’ll pop one in the post

Think about who else you could maybe invite to join the group.

Start interacting on the group, tell us what you're planning events-wise and grab those opportunities as we post them!

The Sepsis Research FEAT Action Team is a chance to create a proper community of supporters for Sepsis Research FEAT and the vital work that we do. Crucially, it’s a way for you to help Sepsis Research FEAT to grow UK-wide, raising awareness of sepsis and taking the vital work that we do to a whole new level. We'd love to have you on board, so do join our Action Team today!

In a recent Scottish survey nearly 90% of people had heard of sepsis.

Only 10% could name the key symptoms.

Awareness raising is a huge part of our work.

Without it of sepsis will continue to be the 'silent killer' that takes around 50,000 lives in the UK every year - roughly one every 12 minutes.

Without it, more patients will be diagnosed too late and suffer long-term physical and emotional side-effects.

Our aim is to make sure that everyone in the UK is aware of the five key symptoms of sepsis:
- cold or blotchy hands and feet
- very high or low temperature
- uncontrolled shivering
- reduced urine output
- confusion
and that they can act quickly to ensure speedy treatment and diagnosis.

Do you have what it takes to conduct presentations and take part in Q&A sessions - virtually under the current COVID restrictions and in person longer-term - with the aim of raising awareness of sepsis and enhancing the profile of the charity?

All volunteers will be offered full training by the central charity team.

If the idea of making a genuine difference and helping to save lives appeals to you email us today: info@sepsisresearch.org.uk or check out our website at www.sepsisresearch.org.uk.

Thank you!

The Finance and Investment Challenge Bowl (FICB) is a quiz bowl tournament for high school students, testing their knowledge of personal finance and economics.

FICB helps meet the need for better financial literacy by reinforcing classroom education at very little additional cost to the schools, and aligns with the new Wisconsin teaching and learning standards in economics and personal finance. In our typical format, student teams meet at a tournament which celebrates their learning in an atmosphere of friendly competition. Each tournament features a quizmaster, scorekeeper, and panel of judges. The tournament takes place as a “field trip” during the school day and lasts from 8:30 am until approximately 1:30 pm. Due to the covid pandemic, we will conduct FICB virtually but still need volunteers. Several games are held simultaneously throughout the day, each of which must be staffed by a volunteer quizmaster, scorekeeper, and several judges.
