VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

We are always keen to meet new volunteers who might like to help Adult Carers or support activities. Volunteers often find that working with carers brings out their best qualities including their ability to listen to and support people, as well as their patience, tolerance, enthusiasm, sensitivity and warmth.

Some volunteers support adult carers by visiting for a chat, reducing isolation and helping to keep them involved with normal daily life. They can work together with the carer helping in any number of ways. Support has included: gardening, de-cluttering, helping with forms, developing computer skills, visiting care homes and transport for medical visits.

People with administration skills may like to help us by volunteering in the office or even getting more involved as a Trustee.

Whatever your interest we would love to meet you to see if we can help each other!

All volunteers are required to have an enhanced DBS check.
