Community Connector

This is a food delivery service and befriending role connecting some of our more vulnerable members of the community to the Crunchy Carrot. Being a volunteer connector (befriender) means making a real difference to someone’s life. You will carry out a purely social role and do not undertake any personal care or domestic duties. Volunteers are matched with a suitable Crunchy Customer. A variety of factors are considered in the matching process, including where both parties live and their interests. Each match will be for 4-12 months, depending on the needs of the person receiving support.
