As a volunteer, you’ll help set up activities, chat with attendees, encourage people to take part and create a warm welcoming atmosphere. If you enjoy meeting new people, trying new things and making a positive difference, we’d love to hear from you!
You don’t have to have experience in any or all of the sessions we run, just willing to keep an open mind and a friendly attitude.
The Skills you will need:
- Friendly and approachable
- Able to take instructions
- Reliable and patient
- Able to work as part of a team
What's in it for you:
- Full volunteer induction and training
- Agree out of pocket expenses to be paid (eg. travel)
- Meet new people and be part of a team
- Learn new skills
- Feel supported, appreciated and valued
As a weekly activity support volunteer, you will need to provide us with two references and a DBS. By volunteering with us you will be helping local people with a learning disability have fun, learn new skills through activities, and you will be making a huge difference!
