Providing support to help you succeed with volunteering
If you are looking to access volunteering opportunities to develop confidence and new skills, improve quality of life, social inclusion, wellbeing, and to access development opportunities for future progressions but you need support to access these volunteering opportunities, we have trained volunteers (volunteer buddies) who can support you.
The support will be moulded to your individual needs and will be provided together with support for your potential employer. Although we have a vast amount of volunteering opportunities available through our brokerage system, you may want to volunteer somewhere specific. The Supported Volunteering Project Coordinator will connect you to that opportunity, support you to attend and supervise the volunteer buddies supporting you.
How Volunteer Buddies help:
Our trained volunteers help you by:
- provide one-to-one support with the barriers you might encounter to improve your confidence and life experiences
- accompany you and assist you with volunteering in your preferred organisation
- develop and maintain effective relationships between you and the organisation with with your are volunteering
All volunteer buddies are DBS checked.
