We’re looking for someone with a keen interest in our village and in digital and content, to help with our online communication.

We’re looking for someone to spend around 3 hours a week with us, to help us to create and post great content on our website and social media channels.

Working with our digital communication lead who will oversee the role, you will help us to grow and nurture our new website and our Facebook channel. You might have a passion for photography or using graphics tools like Canva. If so, this could be for you.

We’re looking for the following:

The role covers the following core tasks, but may evolve over time:

• Finding great photography of the village from our community

Compassionate Care: Planning for your Future – including advice from Death Doula Jane O’Riordan

Monday 19th June 2-4pm @ Southwold Library

This information event is about planning for YOUR future care needs, plans that are shared and recorded, so that if you cannot speak for yourselves those caring for you will know what you want.

Suffolk Libraries & St Elizabeth Hospice will take you through the Personal, Clinical, Legal and Financial components.  Live for today but plan for tomorrow.

A previous attendant said “We attended the talk on Compassionate Care Planning and thoroughly recommend it to others. We both found it informative, helpful and not at all depressing!  It was useful to be given the range of decisions we all to need to make and how to record them. The speaker was sensitive to the issues discussed and encouraged dialogue and questions.”

Part of the Compassionate Communities project and involves Suffolk Libraries working in partnership with St Elizabeth Hospice to provide specialist collections of books and support groups.

Free event, just turn up.
