Share your interest in War Games and toy soldiers

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.

This gentle man has suffered two strokes and wants to be able to read and write again. As he can no longer use his right hand he has to start from scratch with his left hand.

He loves toy soldiers which he used to paint with great patience and attention to detail. Unfortunately he no longer has the dexterity for this but would enjoy talking to any like-minded person about War Games and toy soldiers.

He has a mobility scooter for outdoor use, so in good weather a volunteer may like to go for a walk with him just so he can enjoy being outside the confines of his home.
