Volunteer Transport Assistant/Buddy

We are looking for more people to join our volunteer bus buddy team. You will receive training and will be a valued member of our friendly, supportive organisation. If you are able to commit to 1 day/half day/a few hours per month and are looking for an opportunity which is fun, flexible and brings real meaning to the socially isolated and lonely people in our community then please do contact us for more information.

Although the main part of the job is helping people on and off a bus, in reality it is so much more than that!  Without you, our clients are unable to travel to social events.... sometimes one lunch club a week is the only time they get out to socialise, by being that helpful, smiling face that greats them you are enabling them to meet others and fight social isolation!

We are looking for volunteers that are able to do one buddying trip per month, or more!  Trips are:

Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Monthly Sundays

The times vary but usually involve meeting between 10.30-11am and you will usually be back at base by 2.30pm/3.30pm.  We are also able to split one trip between two people so it could be you are just needed for two hours, for the out trip or the return.

Lunch/refreshments may be provided depending on the nature of the trip.
