Fancy a day out in New Romney. Browsing the shops and stop for a cuppa and a slice of cake?
Help make a difference to someone's life?
If you can spare some time just 6 times a year, you could do just that!
We support a terrific woman who would like a visitor that she can have a good chat and a cuppa with. Visits can take place in the community or her home. She is friendly and welcoming and makes for great company. She is in her 50's and lives in New Romney and walking distance from the town centre.
She is pretty open-minded about what you might do on visits but her interests include the following:
- Chatting and going to a local café
- Visiting the shops
- Chat about films, TV and music
- Having her nails painted
- Needlework and knitting
But this is by no means an exhaustive list, she is up for anything!
A typical Mencap volunteer is:
- Kind
- Patient
- Engaging
- Up for a challenge
- Passionate about supporting people with a learning disability.
Does this describe you? If so, please get in touch.
The Mencap Visiting Service was founded in 1963. It meant that the parents of a person with a learning disability could know that someone would look in on them when they were no longer around. In this volunteer role, you will not only be providing a valuable social visit to this woman, but also honouring the wishes of her parents.
