There are three different types of volunteers. As an occasional volunteer you can get involved in organising awareness raising events or fundraising events such as street collections or coffee mornings. As a regular volunteer you may take on the role of a befriender to a carer, help to distribute information around the city, staff information stands, or some general office duties. As a Branch committee member you will be involved in the running of the branch. Committee members also have the opportunity to get involved in fundraising and awareness raising events throughout the year. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the Branch.
Volunteer befrienderSometimes carers value the opportunity to talk about their caring role and sometimes they prefer to talk about something completely different! A befriender provides a consistent presence and an opportunity to be listened to. These regular visits can take place in the home or out and about, for example in a coffee shop. Most befrienders give a weekly commitment to the people they visit, with most visits lasting one and a half to two hours. These volunteers come to the branch with a wide range of life experiences. Ongoing support and training is provided for all our volunteers. Please note, we are not recruiting people for befriending roles at the moment. If you would like to be considered for any future opportunities please contact us.

rewarding.
