Help this gentlemen explore his local area
Befriending / Visiting volunteer needed for ENRYCH Berkshire
Our volunteers support and enable people with a physical disability to take up, or return to, a hobby, interest, sporting activity or learning opportunity which they cannot do without some help or support. This support is mainly about giving confidence, understanding and emotional support to bring colour to our members’ lives.
Fancy some social activities locally?
This keen walker, who is in his 30’s, works full time is looking for a volunteer who will join him on singles activities and social outings in Reading and surrounds.
He is blind and has a guide dog and would like to get to know his local area a bit better through walking around with a sighted guide in the evenings or weekends. Training can be given for this.
