Would you like to help the homeless in Harrogate by joining the dynamic and energetic "Lifeline Harrogate" Board of Trustees.

We are a small board who meet every two months to guide and support the CEO to manage and develop the organisation.

Our remit is to provide supported housing to those who need significant elements of care, support or supervision so we deal with the more entrenched issues that are acting as barriers to progress. Lifeline is well known in the area and referrals are constant.

A housing officer from North Yorkshire Council said ‘You really do offer a unique service for people. When we visited your houses it was clear how homely you make them and the amount of support that is on offer.”

We are looking for more than one trustee, but a single volunteer would be welcome, subject to a simple interview process.

Our quest is simply for someone who is a practicing Christian, with an interest in helping the homeless, and is willing and able to positively contribute ideas and opinions to matters relating to the management and development of the organisation.

We are a well-established (13 years old) local charity with a significant and ever increasing following and support (albeit we are positively working to increase both), which meet all required governance standards, and are financially stable. So, any likely incumbent trustee will be joining a robust and developing organisation, rather than a struggling operation.

Trustee liability, should it be a concern, is limited to only £10.00, in accordance with our Company and Charity registrations and associated documents.

For further reference, please see our website the link which is supplied, and explains what we do and includes reference to our last financial report.

For anyone even remotely interested please contact Roger Elliott (Chair of Trustees) using either of the methods below:

Telephone - 07720805175 - please leave a name and number it I'm unable to pick up.

E-mail - roger.elliott@arms-consultancy.com

Leaving an abusive relationship can be one of the most dangerous times, yet all too often people are unable to access emergency accommodation and are forced to return to their abusers.

Safe Havens is an innovative project supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse to access safe, accommodation quickly, supported by trained, volunteer hosts and a dedicated IDAS worker. The initiative builds on a long history of people hosting families and individuals in their homes while they begin to rebuild their lives.

Being a Safe Havens host is an opportunity to guide and support a person through challenging times. Hosting a guest in your own home for short periods of respite who has experienced domestic abuse is incredibly rewarding. Hosts can assist the guest in many ways to reach their potential and future goals. Being with a trained host in a host's own home, offers guidance and support whilst the guest plans for their safer future, free from abuse and violence.

Training is given for the role and hosts will link directly with IDAS support workers.

Often survivors need some time away whether this is for some respite or to enable them to consider and plan for their safe future. Hosts can play a significant part in someone's recovery by providing them a safe haven.

Accredited Training given

Flexible opportunity

Ability to link with IDAS volunteers in other roles

DBS checks will be carried out

Please contact Lisa Whitley, Dispersed Accommodation and Safe Havens Officer at IDAS if you are interested:

Sharon Markey Sharon has been serving in cross-cultural missions since 2003. She spent the first nineteen years planting churches in Ukraine with her husband while giving birth to six children—all boys! When Russia invaded in 2022, they relocated to Hungary. War stole their home, but God gave them a mission to displaced Ukrainians all over Europe. Now they are discipling refugees in five Hungarian cities and training displaced Ukrainians in other countries to do the same in their contexts.

The Howards are a trio sibling musical group who have played music together most of their lives. Each of them are multi-instrumentalists and they have played in several different countries. As a family, music has always been important to us.
