Heeley People's Park is the largest community run park in the country. That means they rely on volunteers to keep it running.

This week is #tinnitusweek. Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing a sound even when there is no external sound. These sounds can be ringing, whooshing or humming or buzzing in the ear, and might be continuous or they can come and go. It can be very disorientating and disruptive to people's lives.
Our 100 hour Placement student, Scott, worked in the PR and Marketing team last summer and had a brilliant experience: "I have gained satisfaction from knowing that I have spent my su...mmer working for a worthwhile cause. I have learnt how debilitating tinnitus can be - I'm glad to have played a very small part in helping those with tinnitus."
Would you like to gain office experience in a small, friendly team, develop a range of skills and ultimately offer life-changing support for people who have Tinnitus? Sign up to be a Helpline Volunteer here: https://www.sheffieldvolunteering.com/det ails/587/
