This takes me back to my training days, and has a connection with more recent work with Community Action Southwark - providing development for trustees.Noah's Ark Children's Hospice work through a team of volunteers to support families with a life limited child. Volunteers will work in the home and at organised activities. There is also a siblings project.
Families will come from a range of cultural backgrounds and so we have designed a workshop to explore the different faiths prevalent in the area - and the practical considerations for volunteers.
A panel of people from different faiths will be available for questions - and we will particularly explore ways of showing proper respect for different cultures - as well as different views of health, healing, the physical body, and end of life.
A second workshop is to cover effective social communication - ways of engaging with families in crisis, and developing trusting and supportive relationships. Key to volunteers working in the home.
