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.
Are you crafty?
This young woman is very creative but her physical disabilities sap her energy so she would love to find a volunteer who would encourage her to craft together and be creative.
