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.

We are looking for everyday folk who might have a few free hours each week to share an interest with someone with a disability. That hobby you’ve had for years might be just the thing that one of our Members is looking for. You never know – volunteering might actually add some unexpected colour to your life too!

Interested in film and possible trips to the theatre, or sports for the disabled? We’re looking for someone (male preferred) just to help our client to get out and about, be more socially active and engage with the wider world. Activities may include:

• New activities & ideas in the local community
• Out for dinner, quick coffee or a visit to a local pub
• Chat about what’s going, meeting people and making new friends

Note that none of our volunteers are asked to give anyone personal care. This is a befriending and supporting role.
