Could you volunteer for Sheffield Insight Meditation ? Sheffield Insight Meditation is entirely run by volunteers who are committed to making our events and sangha possible. There are a variety of volunteer roles and we are currently looking for volunteers so we can continue to provide this service, These important behind-the-scenes roles are what make our events and sangha possible. Book-keeper -We are currently seeking a volunteer to take over the group's accounts. We are looking for someone in our sangha who can do our book-keeping and produce our annual accounts. They would be supported by the person currently doing this role and would be in good contact with our trustee sangha. Zoom Facilitators-We also need someone to join our team of Zoom hosts for online participants at our retreats. We are looking for someone who is confident using and troubleshooting on Zoom. Again, we can give support to learn the job. We are also always open to new volunteers who would like to join our planning group or would consider becoming a trustee. If you feel you may be able to offer volunteer service and would like to have an initial chat about it, please contact us at sghsg2009@gmail.com or talk to an organiser at any of our events. Thank you! (fb)
