Summary
Do you have a few hours per month to spend time with a local adult with learning disabilities? We're looking for volunteers in the Nailsworth area.Detailed description
Our Social Buddies programme brings together adults with learning disabilities and local volunteers who share interests/hobbies and have similar personalities. Our Social Buddy pairs then get out in the community to do the things they enjoy – together.
Our current Social Buddies enjoy shopping trips, the cinema, going for lunch and going for walks. We encourage our social buddies to share their passions and interests with each other – just as friends would!
We’re looking for volunteers with a gentle nature to spend time with a local adult with learning disabilities. Just a few hours a month will enable your Buddy to feel more connected, sharing simple moments like going for a coffee and cake. In return, we offer:
- Training to enable you to work with adults with learning disabilities.
- Ongoing support (where required) from the Building Circles team.
- Opportunities to participate in a range of volunteer social activities.
- Reimbursement of expenses such as travel costs.
No prior experience is required.
