Volunteer Buddy
We all enjoy having friends come round to visit us and the people we support are no different. We are currently looking for volunteer buddies to chat, play board/computer games, go for a walk, visit a special place or simply have a coffee. This can be arranged during the day, evening or weekends. It does not have to be a weekly commitment, but whatever time you can spare will be of great benefit to the people we support and we can guarantee to you too!
How does it work?
We will introduce you to someone we support who perhaps has similar interests to you – sports, arts, shopping, cycling, playing board games and crafts, etc. and see how you get along. We take things slowly and offer support from staff.
Do I need special training?
There is no specific training to be a buddy. What you do need is patience, kindness, a sense of humour and a desire to make a difference in the life of another person. If having a buddy sounds just what you’re looking for, we would love to hear from you.
