Summary

We are looking for volunteers to help us set up and run both new and existing groups to support people struggling with Loneliness and Social Isolation.

Detailed description

We are running or in the process of setting up a variety of groups:

One pot cook classes

Fishing group

Walking group

Ornithology group

Games group

Mental health support group

Reading group

Coffee and chat groups

Arts and craft groups


These groups will be run at a variety of locations and are all set up to support and encourage people struggling with Social Isolation and Loneliness (SIL)to get out and about.


Many of our clients struggle with SIL due to Neurodiversity.


If you enjoy any of the above activities (or any others please let us know) and would be happy giving some time to encourage and support others to enjoy them as well please get in touch.


We are ideally leading many of our groups towards being peer led, volunteers are needed to provide a supportive and welcoming environment


If you are over 18 years of age, patient, welcoming and have free time we would love to hear from you.


Training is provided for all our volunteers and we work with the ethos that volunteering should be fun.
