🎙️ Could you help us as a volunteer Editor?

Keynsham & District Talking Newspaper is looking for a new volunteer Editor to help us continue providing our free weekly audio magazine for visually impaired listeners.

📰 Our Editor plays an important role in helping organise the content that goes into each weekly recording, working with our readers and volunteers to create an interesting and enjoyable programme.

🎧 KTN provides a weekly mix of local news and magazine features to around 100 listeners across Keynsham, Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, the Chew Valley and beyond.

❤️ It’s a rewarding opportunity to use your skills, meet a great team of volunteers and make a genuine difference to people who may otherwise struggle to access local news and information.

🤝 You don’t need to be an experienced journalist - we’re looking for someone who is organised, interested in local news and enjoys working as part of a team.

📞 Interested in finding out more?
Call us on 0117 299 3021 or visit https://www.ktn.org.uk/

🎵 Could you help bring music and joy to people living with dementia? 🎵

Music for Memories is looking for Care Home Ambassadors in Lydney, Coleford, Mitcheldean, Drybrook and Dymock.

As our work with local care homes grows, we need volunteers who can spare a few hours regularly to build relationships with residents and care home staff, check equipment, support personalised music programmes and help us ensure residents continue to benefit from the power of music.

A good understanding of dementia is important, but you don't need to be a music expert. Full training, shadowing and ongoing support are provided.

If you'd like a rewarding volunteer role making a real difference in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.

💙 Interested? Get in touch with Music for Memories to find out more on [email protected]
