Microvolunteering – raising awareness

What is the Microvolunteering?

Microvolunteering is perfect for people who are busy and/or unable to commit to our weekly helpline volunteering but would still like to support our charity. It is a flexible volunteering opportunity promoting SARSVL services and opportunities that can be a one off or you can do it more than once at a time that suits you. You can do it on your own, or you and a friend can sign up and micro volunteer together. As an awareness raising microvolunteer you will be promoting the SARSVL helpline and sarsvl helpline volunteering opportunities. This type of microvolunteering is really  important to SARSVL as being able to get the word out about our opportunities to a wide audience in Leeds is invaluable.

Steps to microvolunteer

 

1. Register to volunteer

   To become an awareness raising microvolunteer you must be 18 and identify as a woman* or non binary person as we will send you helpline stickers which we usually put up in women’s bathrooms.  (woman* – trans and cis women are welcome to apply)

2. You can register your interest to volunteer by filling out this form.

3. We will send you out a microvolunteering pack

   Once we have received your registration one of the team will be in touch to learn a little bit more about you and give you more information about the opportunity.

   We will send you out a micro volunteering pack which will include helpline number stickers and helpline volunteering flyers, as well as some instructions about putting up advertisements in public places.

4. Start volunteering!
   Once you have your pack and are ready you can go out and volunteer, spreading the word about SARSVL. You can pop our helpline stickers on the inside of toilet doors, raising vital awareness of our anonymous, confidential emotional support helpline for survivors. We’ll also ask you to put up flyers on public noticeboards about our helpline volunteering opportunity. Every year we train 2 rounds of people to operate our specialist helpline and its vital we are able to reach and train as many people with different backgrounds as possible to support survivors.
