Spend time with a fun-loving, non-verbal individual who lights up to the sound of ABBA, loves the friendly buzz of a local pub, and never says no to a fizzy Pepsi. From bopping along to Dancing Queen to simply enjoying the music and atmosphere, it’s all about feel-good moments and shared smiles. If you’re up for an afternoon packed with rhythm, laughter, and brilliant vibes, this is your chance to jump in, enjoy the beat, and help create memories that truly shine.
We offer a lifelong befriending service for adults with learning disabilities. Matching the skills and interests of passionate visitors with the specific hobbies and interests of the people we visit. Visitors visit six times a year to create a 1-2-1 connection, offer companionship, encourage people to do the things they enjoy and check-in on their wellbeing. In many cases, the visitor is the only person in someone’s life who isn’t paid to be there for them.

- Sitting and having a chat
- Checking in on their well- being

We’re on the lookout for a volunteer who’s keen to make a real difference in our communities — and pick up some new skills along the way!
This is a unique opportunity to gain a recognised qualification while helping residents at Asquith Court and Charlotte Court enjoy regular chair-based exercise sessions. These schemes don’t currently have any sessions, but they’re really keen to get started — ideally once a month to begin with (and maybe more if it’s a hit!).
We’ll support you every step of the way, including covering the cost of your Amac Certificate in Chair-based Exercise Instructing - which you can complete online at your own pace. Once you’re qualified, we’ll work with you to build a schedule that fits around your availability.
Each session will last up to an hour, and we’ll also cover your travel expenses between the two schemes.
Because you’ll be working with potentially vulnerable residents, you’ll need to be 18 or over to take on this role.
If you’re passionate about helping others stay active, feel good, and have fun — we’d love to hear from you!
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!
