…wondering what to do with your time?

Q:alliance Needs You !!!

We are looking for new volunteers, in particular for Admin Support, Web Contributors & a Minute Taker (see below for more info).

Admin Support
- You can help us with anything from simple filing and sealing / stamping envelopes to replying to letters, emails, phone calls and recording data on spreadsheets.
- We also need help to keep our offices tidy and the centre clean.

Web Contributors
- The Q:alliance website (www.qalliance.org.uk) is *your* website and we’d love for you to be a greater part of it!
- We’re currently looking for some LGBT bloggers / writers to help contribute to this website.
- You can blog / write about almost anything – topics you’re into, your daily life, opinions on news stories / LGBT issues.
- Blogging is really easy, you can even just email us your entries and we’ll do the techy bits.
- Have a look at Bex’s Bits for inspiration!

Minute Taker
- The minute taker for Q:alliance needs to prepare and send out agendas to Trustee’s, as well as write and type up meeting minutes for distribution.
- You will need to be able to attend Trustee meetings, currently held on a six weekly basis on a week night.
- It would be helpful if you have previous experience of minute taking in a voluntary or community organisation.
- You will need to be familiar with MS Word and able to send the minutes out via email. Training can be given.

If you are interested in any of these volunteerining opportunities, please email Jim our Volunteer Co-ordinator at volunteer {at} qalliance.org(.)uk

Do you want to see more things happening for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Trans people in Aylesbury Vale?

Do you want to make a difference in your community?

Q:alliance, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Trans (LGBT) charity for Bucks & MK is looking for Community Champions to develop, support and promote local LGBT services, community groups and events; along with other volunteering opportunities in Aylesbury.

Community Champion’s are caring and proactive people with ideas about how they can make their community more interactive. Q:alliance helps its Community Champions with support and training. Together, they build better communities for LGBT people.

Want to find out more? Come along to our open evening on Monday 21st July at 7:00pm in the Multicultural Centre, Friarscroft, Aylesbury.

- WHY SHOULD I VOLUNTEER FOR Q:ALLIANCE? Q:alliance is a strongly community and volunteer-led organisation, therefore we are always seeking new volunteers to become involved in our work. For all roles, you should be a LGBT-friendly person and have a non-judgemental understanding of some of the issues that may affect LGBT people. You do not need to be LGBT yourself.

- AM I THE RIGHT SORT OF PERSON? If you are proactive and enjoy talking to people then this opportunity can make a big difference to the LGBT people who are looking to make contact with each other.

- WHAT COMMITMENT IS NEEDED? Just a few hours once a month. Q:alliance is very flexible around time volunteers can commit and recognises people lead busy lives.
