We are looking for a supportive, friendly and enthusiastic volunteer to assist and support our Family Advisers with the running of our Drop-in sessions for Adults with a learning disability.
Sessions are every other Friday 1.00pm – 3.00pm and are held in the bar area at the Hexagon.
These sessions are a chance to:
- meet new people
- have a coffee and chat with friends
- talk confidentially to one of our Family Advisers
- get advice on filling in forms.
