Time for walkies with PAPA’s pets

The organisation People and Pets Advocates (PAPAS) is seeking volunteers to help out by, say, taking a dog for a walk for its owner, when illness or old age prevents them.

Volunteers will, where possible, be placed within their own postcode area by PAPAS.

For more information on this and other volunteer vacancies, contact Derek Moore, Arun Volunteer Centre co-ordinator, telephone 01903 731223, e-mail [email protected] or call in at the centre on the ground floor, Bradbury Centre, 1-5 St Martin’s Lane, Littlehampton, from 9am-4pm on Mondays and Thursdays and 9.30am-4.30pm on Wednesdays.

A Littlehampton charity shop needs more volunteers to carry out various duties such as serving at the till, sorting, hanging and steaming clothes, sorting bric-a-brac and window dressing.

Team days and hours can be arranged to suit, but volunteers are needed to cover morning and afternoon shifts at the shop on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tea, chat, music and a pleasant atmosphere are all provided.

Unravelling the mysteries of the worldwide web and showing people how to get to grips with a mouse and keyboard will be among the duties of a new recruit at the Angmering Community Centre.

The volunteer IT trainer post has been created to train beginners how to use computers, and to help solve problems for those who are already online, as well as giving advice in areas such as internet shopping and banking, finding information, etc.

Time has been set aside at the centre on Friday mornings and afternoons for training and to run a computer club, and the centre would like to hear from anyone who has the necessary skills and experience to help with this new venture.

The Voice of Progress talking newspaper for the blind wants to recruit another editor to produce a fortnightly issue once every eight weeks.

From the date of the previous issue, the editor has two weeks in which to collect as many relevant articles as possible from the Littlehampton Gazette or Worthing Herald, containing news from their area.

The completed editions must be delivered to the studio, at the rear of Rustington Hall, Station Road, by the morning of the recording session, after contacting the leader reader to notify them of any irregularities, such as special announcements or difficult pronunciation in the news script.

The Royal Air Forces Association Littlehampton branch has a vacancy for a new treasurer to take over from the existing post-holder who is standing down at the annual meeting in March.
