ONE-OFF VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITY FOR FRIDAY 23 FEBRUARY
Hello, we’re Tender, an organisation formerly known as ‘Until the violence Stops’. We have developed a card game that we use in our drama workshops with young people. These are a new resource for working with teenagers in preventing violent relationships and abuse. At the moment they are all in bits and we need five volunteers to help in putting them together. The day will include a small presentation about how these cards are used in our work.
The same five volunteers could also help us with the following opportunity:
We are conducting a survey of young people’s opinions about relationship education in schools and domestic violence. For this we need to collect 200 completed questionnaires from young people around the London Borough of Camden. Your support would enable us to canvas the borough and calculate the results. We would also like your feedback about the results you find.
If you are interested in these contact: d.davis@ucl.ac.uk
