NEAD's
World Shop in Norwich. |
If
you'd like to give your time and energy to work as a volunteer in
Norfolk, the
charity NEAD is looking for people to help out in their fair trade
shop, at workshops or behind the scenes.
NEAD's
Tonia Mihill explains how you can get involved.
Norfolk Education
and Action for Development (NEAD) was
set up in 1985 to help raise awareness about inequalities around
the world.
We want to promote
ways in which people can take action to create a more just and sustainable
world.
NEAD runs The
World Shop on Exchange Street in Norwich - a
not-for-profit operation which sells imported goods from suppliers
committed to the principles of fair trade.
The
World Shop sells Fair Trade produce and is a not-for-profit
operation |
In the floors
above the shop and in schools and community groups near you, NEAD
staff and volunteers are also busy supplying information, running
workshops and organising conferences on a range of global, development
issues – fair trade, international debt, racism, land rights, multicultural
education.
How
you can get involved
Without the
help of a team of around 90 volunteers, NEAD would be a faint shadow
of what it is now!
At
the moment we would particularly like to hear from:
- People
with a home or heritage from Africa, Asia or The Americas who
would like to share their culture and/or perspective on global
issues with school students and teachers in Norfolk.
- Anyone
who would like to help staff our Fair Trade Shop and Resources
Centre which is open from 10 – 5, Monday to Saturday. Full training
and support will be provided.
If
you have an interest in our work, some spare time and a desire to
get involved, then you are our ideal volunteer!
If you would
like find out more, please contact Tonia Mihill, Volunteer Development
Worker at NEAD, 38-40 Exchange St., Norwich NR2 1AX. Tel: 01603
