Volunteer Midlothian (VM)
- VO96324
Purpose of the role is to support Ukrainian and other non-native English people who would like to volunteer to improve their English and tackle isolation and promote integration. Ukrainian and other new Scotts look to improve their English, to volunteer or work. Sessions typically last for 1h 30min on a Tuesday and Thursday morning 10-11.30am. The volunteer facilitator, will provide support through a relaxed chat to improve confidence in using English and to ensure the individual can feel better about using the English language. It will be very informal with no certification offered.
The facilitator will confer with a local ESOL classes coordinator regarding themes and to ensure some learning from the formal setting is complemented by the informal conversations. We would like to stress it is to be a place where people learn in a relaxed atmosphere where mutual support and understanding will help tackle isolation and improve their wellbeing.
