This year Trivia is going virtual! While we cannot gather together in person, we are looking forward to still celebrating Trivia Night! Participants will be given Trivia Kits to complete the event on their own. We are needing volunteers to assist with helping assemble kits to be given out. This event raises funds for children involved in allegations of severe physical and sexual abuse. Without the money raised from this event, our services will suffer and fewer children and families will be helped.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES OVERVIEW

Marketing expertise in support of womens’ entrepreneurship

SPI develops marketing plans with partners to assist communities and families in selling vegetables they produce to earn income to support their households. Often this involves women and designing marketing approaches that supports their entrepreneurship. This income enables families to purchase school supplies and pay for health care needs among other necessities. Volunteers could act as thought-partners for reviewing marketing plans and suggesting marketing approaches. Reviewing plans and providing comments occurs over the course of the year and is flexible in terms of the number of hours spent. Volunteering time may include participating in planning meetings as appropriate.

Supply Chain Expertise

SPI works with partners to establish sustainable local supply chains to ensure that communities have sustained access to seed and inputs for vegetable production post-project. SPI always enters projects with an exit strategy in mind and is careful not to create dependencies in which communities require continual support from SPI to access seed. Volunteers could act as thought-partners for reviewing supply chain development plans and suggesting supply chain approaches. Reviewing plans and providing comments occurs over the course of the year and is flexible in terms of the number of hours spent. Volunteering time may include participating in planning meetings as appropriate.

Crisis relief seed shipment support

In crisis situations SPI works with local partners to ensure that affected communities have access to seed and associated knowledge to get back on their feet. Shipping during crisis situations can be difficult. Volunteers could be a resource for understanding if an option to ship to other location in the country where the crisis has occurred is possible. If possible volunteers could then facilitate tracking, reception, and distribution of the shipment in support of crisis relief efforts. This volunteer opportunity is a low-frequency high-intensity engagement opportunity that is somewhat unpredictable although certain seasons (e.g. hurricane season) have a known regularity.

Agronomy Education Support

SPI develops training materials that support communities to build their capacity in vegetable production. Volunteers could provide skill-based value to this work by reviewing educational materials and suggesting improvements. Additionally, volunteers could do virtual train-the-trainer sessions with SPI partners to support their understanding and delivery of training materials. Reviewing materials and providing comments occurs over the course of the year and is flexible in terms of the number of hours spent. Participating in train-the-trainer sessions can be selected from a rolling schedule with volunteers selecting to participate in sessions that fit their schedule.

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!
