Support us
As a volunteer-run charity we are always looking for helpers to join us providing care and support for our members.
We know that everyone has different talents, and that it takes a team of volunteers to help achieve the smooth running of the club.
Some of the qualities that we appreciate are, eg: enthusiasm; flexibility; reliability; team player; good communication skills; sociable; proactive, able to see where help might be needed; and (as with most things in life) a sense of humour!
The sort of help we need at our meetings includes eg: socialising with members and carers; supporting carers so they get a bit of respite; encouraging and assisting members to join in with activities; organising, and managing money for, raffles etc; helping to serve refreshments; more socialising (we love a chat!).
The sort of help we need on our outings includes eg: being able to offer lifts to club members, or assisting club members with accessing other transport; pushing wheelchairs; assisting club members if their mobility is not so good; making sure that everyone is engaged and included in the group, and that no-one feels left out (more socialising!); assisting with collecting and cutting up meals.
