Friends of the Earth - Tayside
- VO48602
There are many and varied possibilities for projects which FoET doesn't have enough people to do, ranging from hands-on practical work to research or lobbying. Planting trees is one, dealing with litter is another. How can we encourage people to take home and bin their greasy, sooty instant barbecue trays? Or - it would be good to find out how 'green' local businesses are and encourage improvement where appropriate. Or - provision for cyclists in Dundee is poor; what can be done to improve it? A traffic count might be a good start. The volunteer would have to be prepared to work quite a lot on their own intitiative, but a group member would provide support and guidance in planning and carrying out the project. This is a chance for you to do something you haven't done before and be dead chuffed with the result.
Experience required
Someone who really cares about the environment and climate change. Should be able to work on own initiative and get on well with people. We have no premises so the volunteer would probably work from home. Basic IT skills (able to do emails) an advantage.
Travel details
Anywhere in Tayside can be considered. Necessary travel costs would be covered.
Travel expenses
Public transport rates unless in exceptional circumstances.
Support
Training details
Support would be tailor-made to the volunteer depending on what type of work they wanted to do. Our group includes environmentalists, community workers, teachers, office workers, gardeners etc.
Restrictions
No restrictions apply as it depends on the volunteer project undertaken.
