Volunteer Speaker - The Leprosy Mission

Ref 44 - 1048

Leprosy still exists. Help the Leprosy Mission Scotland raise awareness of a disease which still affects millions in the developing world.  Make a difference globally and meet new people in your local area.

Volunteer speakers are of huge importance to the Leprosy Mission Scotland, speaking at a wide variety of groups such as schools, youth groups, Rotary, churches or retirement groups. Helping to raise awareness of the reality of leprosy is a very important task, and you would be central to increasing our supporter base and raising funds. Leprosy is curable and our target is to bring about a wolrd without leprosy through effective diagnosis, treatment and support for people and communities affected by leprosy. Meetings will often include a stall with fairly traded goods made by leprosy affected people who have gone through rehabilitation programmes and are now able to support themselves and their families. The Leprosy Mission is a Christian charity and while meetings may be in a Christian or a secular environment, volunteers must be sypathetic to the Leprosy Mission's values and ethos.

(Throughout Scotland - you can chose which area you would be available to take meetings in. Own transport required, travel expenses provided.)
