Help this lady get out and about

Befriending / Visiting volunteer needed for ENRYCH Berkshire

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.

Out and about 

This lovely lady would like a volunteer with a car to go out to places of interest such as National Trust properties, the cinema or theatre or simply out for a meal or coffee together.

If the weather is not good or if she does not have enough energy to go out perhaps you could do crafts together or simply chat over a cup of tea?
