It’s a very special week for Equation, National Volunteer’s Week. We are a small charity and the support of our volunteers makes such a huge difference to the impact of the work we do. To mark the start of volunteer’s week we want to spread our thanks far and wide by sharing with you a few of Equation’s recent volunteering highlights.
Sarah McLoughlin raised over £2000 earlier this year running the London Marathon. Sarah is trainee solicitor looking to specialise in Family Law. She learned about Equation from attending a number of our specialist courses for professionals. Having been impressed she is now one of our dedicated volunteers.
“ Having previously been a volunteer for Women’s Aid, and having worked closely with Equation in that role, means that I’ve seen first-hand the great work that Equation do. It is a charity that I feel very closely connected to and I hope that this is just the start of my fundraising journey with Equation.”
We are very proud of the continued success of our Reel Equality film club. Volunteers Agnes Flues and Filipa Santos work tirelessly with our campaigns co-ordinator, Chloe Cheeseman, to organise and promote Equation’s award-winning film club. We simply cannot thank them enough for all their dedication or applaud them enough for their brilliant work.
Lastly, we just want to say a huge shout out to our administrative volunteers. Working from our humble offices, these brilliant folks don’t get the adrenaline of a fun run or the glamour of the silver screen or live music event. Non the less, their hard work keeps the wheels in motion behind every aspect of we do.
Thanks to the support of our volunteers, every day we get a step closer to reaching our goal for everyone to have equal, healthy relationships, in a society free from domestic abuse, sexual violence and gender inequality. If you want to get involved in supporting Equation’s work against abuse there are three key ways to help: Donate, Fundraise or Volunteer.
Making a donation to Equation is now very easy using our online payment system. Every little helps and £3 could pay for a child to take part in one of our healthy relationship projects.
Fundraising events are a fun and rewarding way to support our work against domestic violence and abuse in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. You can get active and raise money for Equation by joining our team in a local challenge event, get sponsored for an event you’re already doing, or organise your own thing. Check out our featured events and find ideas and inspiration on our website.
Volunteer with Equation and you’ll join a passionate team of people united against domestic abuse. From fundraising to campaigning, there are lots of ways you can get involved. Take a look at our latest opportunities, or get in touch to let us know how you’d like to help.
