🀝 BECOME AN EVA CORPORATE PARTNER

🌟 Help Make a Real Difference in Erewash

We are looking for local companies that are interested in working with us to make a true difference to local people in Erewash.

Erewash Voluntary Action help over 200 community groups every year to continue their work supporting people facing a variety of health problems and other challenges, providing expert advice, signposting, funding, providing training and guidance on best practice. In the last 12 months we supported 260 volunteers to gain essential life skills while making a real impact on their local communities.

Despite the clear need for charities and voluntary services in our communities, the sector as a whole is facing a lack of funding. That’s where you, as a local business, can help.

By becoming a corporate partner of Erewash Voluntary Action we are excited to work with local businesses that are keen to give back to their local communities by offering funding, training, time or other resources to local Voluntary and Community Groups that do so much for people across Erewash. In return, Erewash Voluntary Action will maximise our extensive links in the community to promote and share your business - and celebrate your commitment to making a real difference.

Being an Erewash Voluntary Action Corporate Partner is an opportunity for us to work together, be creative and utilise our collective resources to empower local communities and make a real difference to those that need it the most. There is no one size fits all partnership agreement - we want to work closely with you to find the best outcomes for everyone and develop a legacy that we can all be proud of.

Erewash Voluntary Action welcomes four new Smokefree Champions! πŸŽ‰πŸš­

On Monday 12th October, Izzy, Marion, Debra and Jo took part in Smokefree Champion Very Brief Advice (VBA) training, hosted by Live Life Better Derbyshire, Derbyshire County Council.

The training was informative and provided us with a greater understanding of how we can support people who are thinking about stopping smoking. We explored how to offer brief, helpful advice, start conversations about smoking and signpost people to the right support when they are ready to make a change.

October is particularly well known for Stoptober, which encourages people to take steps towards quitting smoking. Stopping smoking can have significant benefits for both physical and mental wellbeing, and having access to the right advice and support can make a real difference.

If you or someone you know is thinking about quitting smoking, Live Life Better Derbyshire offers support and advice to help people get started.
