We’re looking for a male volunteer to spend time with a gentleman living in our mental health service in Brislington. He’s a big sports fan and would love someone to enjoy his favourite pastimes with.

What could you do together?

  • Play a game of snooker
  • Chat about football and watch matches in a local pub
  • Talk cricket and catch a game together
  • Support his team – Bristol Rovers!
  • Enjoy trips out in the community

This role is perfect for someone who’s confident around people with mental health needs and enjoys relaxed, sociable activities. You don’t need to be an expert—just bring your enthusiasm and a friendly attitude.

When?
Ideally weekly or fortnightly during the day on weekdays or weekends, but we’re flexible and happy to work around you.

What’s in it for you?

  • Make a real difference to someone’s life
  • Share your love of sports and socialising
  • Full training and ongoing support provided
  • Travel expenses covered for each volunteering shift

If you’re easy-going, patient, and enjoy football, cricket, or just good conversation, we’d love to hear from you!

Interested?
Get in touch today and help us create enjoyable, meaningful moments.

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.

Milestones Trust is a health and social care charity supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and complex behavioural needs. The Trust provides residential, nursing and supported living services to over 500 people living in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.
