We’re looking for a friendly and creative volunteer to support a person living in one of our residential services in Southville. He would love someone to spend time with him doing enjoyable, sociable activities that make his day brighter.


What will you be doing?
You could get involved in:
• Cooking or baking together
• Gardening and enjoying the outdoors
• Arts and crafts projects
• Exploring the community, like popping to a café for a drink
This is a great opportunity if you enjoy being creative, spending time outdoors, or simply having a good chat over a cup of tea. Your time and companionship can make a huge difference to someone’s wellbeing.


When?
Ideally, we’re looking for someone who can volunteer weekly or fortnightly, during the day on weekdays. We’re happy to discuss what works best for you.


What’s in it for you?
- Make a positive impact in someone’s life
- Share your skills and hobbies
- Gain experience in a supportive environment
- Travel expenses covered for each volunteering shift
- Activity costs will be agreed with the individual and the service


If you’re kind, patient, and enjoy creative or outdoor activities, we’d love to hear from you!

For all our volunteer roles a DBS check will be carried out and we will request two references. All volunteers will need to complete online volunteer training in preparation for your role. You will be supported by both the volunteer team and a designated member of staff in the service too.
