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.
Can you write beautifully?
This lady with a great sense of fun is looking for a volunteer to teach her how to do calligraphy. She already makes her own cards and enjoys photography and now wants to learn a new skill and have the company of another person. She would also welcome a volunteer to go out on trips with.
