Lifeline Community Action (Helping Hands) will soon be employing a full-time Project Coordinator to enable the ever-increasing workload of our projects to continue over the next year. Currently the board are volunteering themselves with clients, raising funds, organising the work of current volunteers and running many of the courses that are taking people forward.
Chair of trustees Alwyn White says ‘we want to be able to take a more strategic view of the charity and would like to employ someone to support the day to day running of the work on the ground.
We need a confident and competent Project Coordinator to relieve us of some of the hands on work in order for us to look further ahead to the future of the charity and to ensure we are working to the benefit of our clients and meeting the needs of the people we are here to support’.
GAMP via the Neighbourhood Budget allocation of Councillor’s Joan Gray, Mike Dixon, John Clare, Jed Hillary, Sarah Iveson, Eddy Adam and Kate Hopper, Garfield Western, and private funding has supported this role.
Brian Riley GAMP Coordinator said ‘We are pleased to support the work of Lifeline Community Action and hope the funding for the Project Coordinator will help support some of the most vulnerable GAMP residents’
Lifeline Community Action is extremely grateful for the generous contributions everyone has made. It means we can expand our services and  help even more people over the next year.
