Volunteering in your community

Disability charity Leonard Cheshire is looking for Enabling and Befriending volunteers for its Oak Gardens Supported Living service in Penketh.

Enabling volunteers assist a disabled person out in the community to take part in leisure activities and social events, activities could include visiting the shops, cinema or museum. Befrienders visit a service user in their own home to assist with developing reading or writing skills, baking or crafts, or simply for a cup of tea and a chat. However much free time you have it can be put to good use and will really make a difference to someone’s day. For an informal chat about opportunities suited to you contact the Volunteer Coordinator:
Catherine Smith on 07738 033 564 or email Catherine.smith@lc-uk.org
