At Great Yarmouth Borough Council, we have a vision to improve the life chances of all those living and working in our borough. By taking an inclusive approach to addressing physical and mental well-being we will reduce health inequalities faced within the community.

Cultural Connections is an exciting new project developed to build on the volunteering infrastructures that exist across Great Yarmouth and East Suffolk Council areas. The project has been funded by Spirit 2012’s Volunteering Cities grant stream and will engage with and support residents new to volunteering overcome barriers they may experience that prevent them becoming volunteers. Learning from previous Spirit 2012 funded projects has been utilised to develop an inclusive project, which will engage and empower residents to play an active role within their community.

The project is working in conjunction with incredible cultural and heritage partner organisations which will be able to provide a variety of volunteering opportunities for those engaged with the project and the project can support this with funding to overcome barriers such as travel, and offer exciting incentives based on their level of engagement.

The Volunteer Coordinator role is the main point of contact for people wishing to explore routes into volunteering and maintains that connection with them through their journey on the project, both helping find volunteering experiences with partners and helping residents create their own localised events which benefit their communities.

Please note, this role requires a satisfactory Basic disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (known as a DBS check).
