Practical services for self help groups in Nottingham

Self Help Nottingham provides a range of Practical Services for new and established groups within the Greater Nottingham area. Most of the services are free, such as re-directing mail and producing designs for leaflets and posters; other services such as photocopying and franking mail are charged at cost. Contact us for further details.

Photocopying

Groups can use our photocopier. We have a good supply of A4 white and coloured paper, A4 card - some colours available, A3 white paper and a limited number of colours and photocopier labels.

Group members are invited to use our photocopier. Members can call in the office to do their own copying or it can be left for us to complete.

We can also print your documents in colour with either a laser or desk jet printer.

Ring 911 1662 to make an appointment to use the photocopier, or to discuss your needs or for prices.

Design and printing service

We are able to produce documents using PageMaker 7 as follows:

• Posters, leaflets and handouts
• Letterheads and compliment slips
• Newsletters

Costs:

The design service is free and the only cost incurred is for photocopying/printing. Please contact us for costs and further information.

Places for Posters

We have produced a booklet of suggestions of where posters can be displayed in and around Nottingham. These include libraries, community centres, GPs surgeries and Play Centres. In some cases the circulation to different venues will be undertaken for you, you just need to follow the instructions. The booklet is free to members of Self Help Groups in the Nottingham area.

Meeting rooms

We have two meetings rooms for use by groups. The large one will take about sixteen people comfortably and the smaller one five or six people. The rooms are free to new self help groups for an agreed time period. Established groups are charged a small fee. Please contact us for prices.

We also have a list of other meeting rooms in and around Nottingham. Please contact us to obtain a copy.

Public liability insurance

We can advise on brokers to approach for reasonably priced insurance.

Office equipment

We have a laminator and thermal binder for use by group members.

Please contact us to arrange a convenient time, to check that we have the materials that you require and for costs.

Mail

We can help with your mail in two ways, either acting as a postbox or franking bulk mail-outs:

• Postbox: we can act as a postbox and re-direct mail to your group. This is usually dealt with and re-directed in a plain envelope on the day it is received.
• Franking Mail: group members can either call in to do their own franking or it can be left for us to do for you. The charge is at cost i.e. the postage used.

Please contact us to make arrangements.

Transport

We have a copy of TATA - Transport Accessible To All, produced by Nottinghamshire County Council.

This guide is of particular use to those people who for reasons of disability or isolation need to use accessible transport to reach the services considered as essential to leading an independent and fullfilling life.

The information in the guide is presented in an easy to read format with additional information such as telephone numbers and addresses.

Reference books and resources on bereavement

Self Help Nottingham has a small library of books on loss and bereavement, available to loan to self help groups. Please ring for a full list of publications and to make arrangements to borrow.

If your group feels the need for more support around issues of loss and bereavement, please contact the Groups Training and Development Team on 911 1662.
