• Providing one to one support with the arts and crafts activities
• Having a chat!
Activities will not include: Personal care or financial assistance. If you'd like to volunteer as an arts and crafts buddy or would like to find out more before you apply, please get in touch!
Our volunteers play a vital role in our work and in return, we support them with:
• Free certificated training (with access to 800 plus courses)
• Free membership to an online shopping discount scheme
• Comprehensive support from professional, friendly and trained Discovery staff • Agreed travel expenses reimbursed
• An opportunity to gain real experience in the social care sector
A regular commitment would be appreciated - this could be once a week, twice a month, for example.
