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.
Do you like the theatre and places of interest?
A blind lady with a good sense of humour would like a like-minded volunteer with a car to go with her:
- to the theatre
- to places of interest
- or even just for a coffee
She does not have a guide dog and is happy to show a volunteer how best to guide her, although training for guiding can be given.
