Community UK Floods – Exploring a water based activity to raise funds for communities devastated by the floods Lend-A-Hand Day – We are looking at whether we can get Lend-A-Hand up and running again and what it should look like. Food Bank Collection – ComVoc has had conversations with the Trussell Trust who distribute two tons of food a month to the our local community Letchworth, Hitchin and Baldock. British Schools Museum – Schools in project is to celebrate the long history of education in Hitchin and premiere the new Audio Visual equipment purchased via grants from Tilehouse and District

  6. Vocation We volunteer our professional skills to serve others and promote integrity in everything we do Our Vocational commitment to the club is about getting members engaged in projects and club events so that they feel inclusive. Vocational Services is also about utilising members skills and expertise to best serve the club helping to deliver success in everything we do

  7. Vocational Training Teams In 2013 Rotary ceased to offer and organize Group Study Exchange grants and visits, replacing them with Vocational Training Teams These are teams of people with specific skills who are sponsored to work with communities to both transfer those skills and enhance their own with a different experience Com - Voc is exploring the possibility of sending a Vocational Training Team to Haiti in order to follow on from the great work being undertaken by the International Committee with their Haiti Water Project. The intention is to send a team that would deliver through training a particular skill that benefit the whole community. What do you think of it so far?

  8. Vocation Vocational Areas include: • Mentoring and working with organizations and individuals • Directly helping individuals with specific needs • Supporting other organisations in our community with specific needs such as manpower, technical skills, project management skills, marketing or fundraising skills Benefits include • Forging links with other community organizations • Getting involved in our community at a lower scale of commitment than some projects • Engagement of new members • Using our unique skills and interests to directly support our community

  9. Vocation Projects Digital Inclusion Project – NHCVS is looking to run a community project to help the young and old to get online through a series of training sessions Hitchin Volunteer Army -This initiative run by a fantastic young mum Lorna Hemmings is very similar to the Club’s Heartfelt donations. HVA works closely with NHCVS so all of the work they do has been vetted by them, in the same way Rotary is work with the Family Support Workers. ComVoc and HVA will look at helping each other out where possible.

  10. Community and Vocation Thank you and please do continue to support our projects and fundraisers which address local needs and work with our community to bring lasting improvements Please give Vocation some thought; are we on the right track?
