There has never been a more exciting time to join the HEY Smile Foundation team. Our work spans across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), as well as connecting opportunities with the private and public sector.

We are connected, joining assets to community knowledge, creativity and inspiration. We are helping VCSE organisations of all shapes and sizes be heard and play a part in solutions, not just highlight community problems.

We have grown significantly in the last 11 years but are still agile enough to respond to the communities need, not prescribe the same methodology ‘because that’s what has always been done’.

We are sustainable in our own right. Whilst developing others, we have ensured we had one eye on our own platform, securing £3m in assets and generating an average of £800k turnover a year in earned income to by masters of our own destiny and focus on the Wow not Woe in our communities across the Hull and the East Riding.

Covid 19 has provided us with an opportunity to share our way of working further and in the East Riding we are seen as a community lead and the Go to Charity, now more than ever.  We are proud to say we now have the strongest charitable board in the region, and likewise we have a team of highly skilled and proactive charity leaders.

In response to the commencement of the Covid-19 Vaccination programme, we set up a Meet and Greet Volunteer programme, initially to support the vaccination hubs across the East Riding of Yorkshire.  These volunteers are offering a friendly face and a helping hand for those attending for their vaccinations, either at a centralised hub, or in GP’ practices.  From a small start, we now are supporting more than 15 vaccination sites, with more coming on board, and have nearly 500 active volunteers.  In addition, we are working with Hull City Council to support local Lateral Flow Testing activity.

The vaccination programme is due to roll out throughout the majority of 2021.

To ensure that the Meet and Greet volunteer programme reaches its full potential, we are recruiting a Meet and Greet Volunteer Coordinator.

Working closely with the Programme lead, the Volunteer Coordinator will be responsible for the day to day running of the Meet and Greet programme, ensuring that it continues to meet the needs set out by the Humber Coast and Vale Partnership, Hull City Council, City Health Care Partnership and other bodies who require the support of volunteers.
