This service supports vulnerable adults to actively live full and enriched lives giving as much independence and wellbeing for the person as possible.

We need volunteers to support people in a variety of different ways such as supporting with sport and leisure activities both in house and in the community, sensory art, sensory communication, yoga and fitness, sensory cooking and massage and wellbeing.

You will receive the same training and support as the rest of our team.

We are looking for people who can help for a minimum of half a day a week during these times, or to do regular workshops on specific activities.

Training, ongoing support and travel expenses will be provided.

Organisers are required  at The Barley, Newport, the first Wednesday of the month, The Old Orleton Inn, Wellington first Thursday of the month, The Fallow Field, Hadley, first Tuesday of the month
