Would you like to help people with a learning disability to socialise in their local community and make friends?
Dates-n-Mates is a friendship and dating agency for adults with a learning disability.
We run lots of social events and activities, helping people to meet others and to build friendships and relationships.
As a Community Volunteer, your role is to help our members enjoy socialising in safe and friendly environments.
Our events include going to restaurants, pubs, cinema, tenpin bowling, day trips and walks. The events are sociable, great fun and your role is very rewarding. You will initially shadow a volunteer or member of staff to help you get to know everyone and see what is involved.
Events take place afternoons and evenings and usually last 2 hours. We ask our volunteers to commit to a minimum of 1 event per month.
Dates-n-Mates offer a variety of training and support to our volunteers. We require our volunteers to join the PVG scheme but there is no cost to yourself. All expenses including travel will also be covered.
For further information or to apply please contact Raynor McCulloch, Volunteer Co-ordinator at E Mail: volunteering@datesnmates.org.uk or tel. 07720 591229.
