Air ambulance charities deliver advanced pre-hospital critical care to patients who have suffered life-threatening or life-changing injuries or medical emergencies, bringing the Emergency Department directly to the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
We are looking for enthusiastic and friendly Fundraising Volunteers to support a series of exciting upcoming events in partnership with national organisations, including a major fundraising week this summer.&lt;br /&gt;
About the role&lt;br /&gt;
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a public-facing fundraising initiative, helping to raise awareness and vital funds for air ambulance charities across the UK.&lt;br /&gt;
You&amp;rsquo;ll engage with members of the public in busy locations, helping to highlight the importance of supporting air ambulance charities, which rely almost entirely on donations to continue their vital work.&lt;/p&gt;

&amp;bull; Creating a welcoming, positive presence at events&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Representing AAUK and the wider air ambulance sector&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Most importantly &amp;ndash; having fun while supporting a life-saving cause&lt;br /&gt;
What are we looking for?&lt;br /&gt;
We are looking for people who are:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Friendly, approachable and confident speaking to the public&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Passionate about supporting charitable causes&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Reliable and able to work as part of a team&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Proactive and enthusiastic&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Happy to get involved in a variety of activities&lt;br /&gt;
No previous volunteering or fundraising experience is required &amp;ndash; just a positive attitude!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time commitment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Our initial campaign will run from 1st &amp;ndash; 8th August, with volunteer shifts available across multiple locations.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Flexible shifts (morning, afternoon or full day)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; You can sign up for as much or as little time as you&amp;rsquo;re able to give&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull; Opportunities to support future events beyond August&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for a heart-opening evening of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kirtan, mantra, music, and community&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the Natural Wellness Centre in Nottingham.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kirtan is a joyful and meditative practice of call-and-response chanting that invites us to slow down, connect, and experience the uplifting power of sacred sound. No singing experience is needed&amp;mdash;simply come as you are and allow yourself to be immersed in the vibrations of mantra, live music, and collective energy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout the evening, we will share traditional chants, moments of reflection, and a welcoming space to relax, reconnect, and nourish the soul. Whether you are new to Kirtan or have been practicing for years, this gathering offers an opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and experience a sense of peace, unity, and inner stillness.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✨ Live mantra music&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Guided chanting and meditation&lt;br /&gt;
✨ A warm and welcoming community atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Open to all experience levels&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Come along to sing, listen, meditate, or simply soak in the energy. We look forward to sharing this beautiful evening with you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;When voices unite in mantra, hearts unite in harmony.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;🙏🎶&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;27th July 2026, Monday&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Time:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;6pm-onwards (&lt;em&gt;Can stay as long or as little as you&amp;#39;d like&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Location:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham, NG1 2GB&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Relaxed and informal afternoons of creativity and community - monthly and free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you consider yourself to have no artistic talent, are a budding artist or just dabble in crafts every so often, you are very welcome to join. We will be creating on our own and with each other in a calm atmosphere. You are welcome to come for as little or as long as you like.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Who is this event for?&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any people of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LGBTQIA+ or questioning&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;identities aged 18 + are welcome to join us! Safe spaces&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-airgap-id="35" data-msys-clicktrack="0" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fuxHG7qXiH6aUen30-kSV0qt7rZZ9J3J/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fuxHG7qXiH6aUen30-kSV0qt7rZZ9J3J/view?usp=sharing"&gt;code of conduct&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;will be in place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We recognise that you might need different things from this event, be it creating connections and hearing about others experiences, having a chance to reflect on your own queer experiences and needs, or simply have protected space to craft and use your hands. Whichever one it is, we hope you join us and find it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While some people bring their friends, family members or parner/s to the session, lots of people come on their own - if you&amp;#39;re feeling nervous, get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please note we are welcoming individuals to come as themselves - this is not a space to come to as an organisation or party.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;What are we crafting?&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;ll be switching between&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;various activities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;like paper crafts, painting, sculpting and textile based activities like knitting crochet and embroidery for all sessions, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;materials provided&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;people to guide you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you&amp;#39;re new to a material/process. If you have never crafted before, we always have&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;simple activities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;you can just pick up with no previous knowledge (e.g. beaded bracelets).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can bring your own crafts or projects to each session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bucks Students&amp;#39; Union can fund students to join networking events. Please find the event&amp;#39;s overview&amp;nbsp;below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Join us for a Business Networking event in Nottingham, where you can promote your business and brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join business owners, professionals, and community-minded entrepreneurs from across Nottingham for an evening of genuine conversation, collaboration, and fresh ideas &amp;mdash; all in the stylish surroundings of Sheriff House.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At Spark Business Networking, we do things a little differently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our events are designed to feel&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;structured, but relaxed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. We believe networking should be about building real relationships, not just collecting business cards or rushing through a quick pitch. Whether you are a confident networker or walking into your first event, you will be welcomed into a supportive room where conversations feel natural, introductions matter, and people genuinely want to help each other grow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;What Spark Is All About&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our aim is to create a friendly and professional business community where people can connect with purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We bring together local business owners, professionals, freelancers, and decision-makers who want more than surface-level networking. Our goal is to help people build trust, share ideas, create opportunities, and form relationships that continue long after the event has finished.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We focus on:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✨ Meaningful conversations&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Supportive introductions&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Collaboration over competition&lt;br /&gt;
✨ A relaxed but professional atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Long-term business relationships&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Helping local businesses feel more connected&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is not a room full of pressure, hard selling, or awkward pitches. It is a chance to meet good people, talk about what you do, learn from others, and explore where genuine opportunities may naturally develop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;What to Expect&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the evening, you can expect:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✨ Friendly, relaxed networking&lt;br /&gt;
✨ A warm welcome from the Spark team&lt;br /&gt;
✨ A supportive community of like-minded professionals&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Opportunities to introduce yourself and your business&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Time to build real conversations, not just quick exchanges&lt;br /&gt;
✨ Nibbles included&lt;br /&gt;
✨ A chance to connect, collaborate, learn and grow&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We want everyone who attends to leave feeling like they have made valuable connections, had useful conversations, and discovered new opportunities.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 1925, Lon Chaney terrified audiences with his signature ghoulish make-up as the murderous and mysterious Phantom, sparking the flame for endless adaptations, countless pop culture references, and a hit West End musical. Yet another adaptation is rumoured to be in production, with even Guillermo del Toro throwing his name in the hat following his 2025 film of that other misunderstood Universal Monster, Frankenstein.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But what is it about the story of an angry incel living in the bowels of the Paris Opera House that has kept public interest going for over a hundred years?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this 3-hour session, we&amp;rsquo;ll dive into the origins of the story, tracking through time as the Phantom develops from genius madman to romantic Byronic hero, to vicious killer and back again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Adaptations covered include Andrew Lloyd Webber, Joel Schumacher, Dario Argento, Brian de Palma and Terence Fisher to name just a few.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Masks and capes welcome, but please leave your noose at home&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We curate workshops, courses and away days for inner city schools and urban communities to improve people&amp;#39;s connection with nature.&lt;br /&gt;
We&amp;#39;ve turned unused areas in playgrounds into thriving allotments, grown fruit and veg for school kitchens and run tree planting initiatives.&lt;br /&gt;
Creating accessible and inclusive green spaces is at the centre of what we do. We offer a chance for everybody to get outside, get their hands dirty and experience nature.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Letting Grow is transforming the outdoor space at Greenford Library into a new community garden.&lt;br /&gt;
What is currently an underused grass area will become an accessible green space for local residents, community groups, young people and wildlife. The garden will include growing areas, sensory planting, seating spaces and habitats for pollinators, creating a welcoming place for&lt;br /&gt;
people to connect with nature.&lt;br /&gt;
This is an opportunity to be involved from the very beginning and help create a lasting community asset for Greenford. Individuals and groups are welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Volunteer Sessions&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More than just a cult teen drama,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Buffy the Vampire Slayer&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;has become one of the most studied television series of all time, praised for its rich layers of meaning and its lasting influence on the medium.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This three-hour course explores how&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Buffy&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;transformed television storytelling. We&amp;rsquo;ll examine how the series draws on classic narrative structures like the hero&amp;rsquo;s journey, while using monsters as metaphors for adolescence, identity, and growing up. We&amp;rsquo;ll also explore its feminist legacy, celebrating its groundbreaking portrayal of female power, while considering how this reads through a more complex modern lens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ll also look at how&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Buffy&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;redefined what television could achieve: blending horror, fantasy, comedy, and soap opera into something entirely new, and pioneering long-form storytelling that shaped the future of TV.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Across the session, we&amp;rsquo;ll explore the creation of the show and take a closer look at key iconic episodes, examining how&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Buffy&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;plays with format, genre, and mythology to create a piece of television history that changed everything.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For forty years, Studio Ghibli has created some of the most beloved and influential films in world cinema, from&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;My Neighbour Totoro&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Princess Mononoke&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Spirited Away&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Howl&amp;rsquo;s Moving Castle&lt;/em&gt;, and beyond. This course traces the studio&amp;rsquo;s history from its 1980s beginnings through to Miyazaki&amp;rsquo;s recent&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Boy and the Heron&lt;/em&gt;, exploring its recurring themes of ecology, pacifism, gender, childhood, and imagination. Along the way, we will reflect on the artistry, politics, and legacy of Ghibli&amp;rsquo;s work. The day will include opportunities for open discussion, as we consider how these films continue to inspire audiences and filmmakers around the globe.&lt;/p&gt;
