Biweekly Walking Volunteer

Role: Biweekly Walking Volunteer (to follow current volunteer) 

RJ4All (Restorative Justice for All), is an international institute with a mission to address power abuse and advance community cohesion and human rights through the values and practice of restorative justice. 

We have an exciting project, Resilient and Active Families, that is in need of a regular volunteer starting from the 3^rd of October. This project aims to target young people and families either not in employment or education who would benefit from being involved in sports and exercise. The aim is to contribute to diverting young generations from harm, repairing family relationships, and allowing better futures. 

The project is centred around delivering walking and cycling sessions to families. As such, we are looking for someone who is interested in becoming a Walking Lead Volunteer. As a Walking Lead Volunteer, you will be a confident individual who is passionate about improving the wellbeing and mental health of communities and individuals. Your responsibilities will include planning walking routes and delivering sessions to the community. You will get the chance to work directly with a community facing many challenges including the cost-of-living crisis and provide a safe space for young people and families to learn more about the local area and make friends in the community. The volunteer will lead our small walking group biweekly on Thursdays at 16-17.  

As a volunteer at RJ4All, you will also be a part of a small friendly team with lots of support available and the opportunity to attend a variety of trainings (e.g.: first aid training, active bystander training) at the community centre. Additionally, you will be able to make use of the RJ4All CPD accredited e-courses including more trainings on restorative justice practice. 

Please get in touch if you are interested in this opportunity. You can email me, phone the centre at +44 7708758600, or drop-in during opening hours (9:30-17:30) at 30 Plough Way SE16 2LJ. I look forward to meeting you!
