Bringing together the best information to support families in Rushmoor
Radio BGWS (1179 AM) is currently on soft launch with programmes aired between 12.00 noon and 6.00pm. As a Nepali community radio station the broadcast is primarily in Nepali. However, they aim to include bilingual programmes in the near future. Schools are more than welcome to visit the station which is located at Gurkha Bhawan, 119 Wren Way, Farnborough GU14 8TA.
The Volunteer Centre at Rushmoor Voluntary Services is able to provide help for schools looking to recruit volunteers, particularly for the provision of additional out of school hours’ activities. The Volunteer Centre acts as a broker, finding schools for volunteers and volunteers for schools. The school will then need to meet with the prospective volunteer and carry out the usual safeguarding checks.
Volunteers might be used to help with reading groups, walking buses, minibus driving, family learning, governing bodies, music, after school clubs, IT, etc. In addition, companies occasionally are looking for small scale projects, such as decorating or gardening, that their employees can contribute to for a short time.
Naya Yuva is an independent voluntary organisation which was established in 2009 to encourage, guide, support and promote Nepalese youth in and around Aldershot, Farnborough and Camberley. They also aim to integrate with other communities and include young people from various backgrounds. Naya Yuva is an open group and welcomes young people to join and participate in its future events.
Their role is to raise awareness among young people regarding the different issues affecting their lives and their community. This is done by holding educational workshops and by taking part in different community events to show community support. If you would like to get involved or to know more please visit the website.
The Centre can be booked for training events or children’s parties.
Aldershot Town FC offer schools the opportunity to work with them through their Community Trust. As the Trust is a registered charity and not a private enterprise any money made is put back into the local community. Quality coaching can be provided both during and after school hours and all coaches are FA qualified and CRB checked. There is also the chance to offer free holiday course places as rewards to deserving children from your school and educational projects at the EBB Stadium. You can also participate in the Trust’s junior football tournaments.
There are fundraising opportunities such as the Target Challenge, prizes for raffles and tombolas and the offer of a presence at any fete or summer fair.
If you are interested in working with Aldershot Town FC Community Trust please call or email.
Greenfingers involves families who live in the Mayfield and Grange areas of Farnborough in improving community green spaces and communal areas, developing an allotment to encourage children to learn about self-sufficiency and life cycles, and developing areas for local wildlife. It encourages children to learn about flora, fauna and crops and to cook and eat the produce they harvest.
You don’t need to live locally to get involved and you can be any age. All you need is energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to get involved.
Greenfingers meets every Saturday from 1.30pm until 3.30pm. There will always be two volunteer co-ordinators to guide the group. All sessions will start at the Prospect Centre. The whole family is very welcome. For more information call or email Jamie Beaton.
