INTERESTED IN BECOMING A VOLUNTEER?

 We aim to make a difference in the lives of people with a disability but we really can’t without the help of people like you.

• Could you help us to help others?

• Could you, or someone that you know, spare a couple of hours a week – at a time convenient to you or to them?

We can offer training, support and out of pocket expenses. You would offer to help improve the quality of life of disabled people, giving the help now that you may need yourself in the future.

People just like you – or someone that you know already act as:-

• Commit yourself to a three hour session on a rota once a week (or more)

• Attend agreed and necessary training so that you keep up to date on relevant  changes in laws, policies and procedures, both locally and nationally, that affects those peoples with a disability population.
