Farewell to Victoria and welcome Adam...

Last week we bid a sad farewell to Victoria Price our Herefordshire Community Network for Ukraine Co-Ordinator. Victoria has been a integral part of the Ukrainian Integration Project Team and before that, the Community Renewal Fund team, helping to build an extensive network across the county. We wish her all the best on her new adventures in Northern Ireland.

We are excited to announce Adam Innes will be joining the team as the Co-Ordinator for the Network. Adam is looking forward to meeting many people, organisations and groups over the coming weeks and can be reached on adam.innes@hvoss.org.uk

Congratulations Sam!

One of our regular volunteers, Sam, has worked his last shift at hvoss HQ before embarking on his first paid role with local Solicitors firm, Lambe Corner. Sam has been a real asset to the team over the last year and we will miss him dearly but wish him all the best in his future career.

Check out this short chat we had with Sam on his last day in the office...

Congratulations to all the young people on the NEETs project at hvoss, who successfully completed their Basic Life support and AED training with Hereford First Aid Training, in Leominster Community Centre this week.

Great team work and invaluable life skills learnt to support participants as they move into volunteering, work and further education. Many thanks to our trainer Mike for an engaging session.

Home-start Herefordshire

Home-start Herefordshire offers a unique service where we recruit and train volunteers to visit families at home and offer them informal, friendly and confidential support.

What do we do?  

We recruit and train a local community network of volunteers who help families with children aged 0-18 years old through challenging times. We provide expert support and signposting along with friendship and practical advice.

Why do we do it? 

The earliest years make the biggest impact, Home-Start make sure those years count so that no child’s future is limited.

How do we do it? 

No judgement, just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. Starting in the home, our approach is as individual as the people we’re helping. Sharing local expertise to drive national and regional change.
