  • We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to join us every Tuesday from 9:30am to 12:30pm, supporting our lively daytime activity sessions for people with a learning disability at Mencap.

    No two Tuesdays are the same, you might find yourself getting stuck into gardening, exploring arts and crafts, helping with cooking, and much more. As a volunteer, you’ll play an important role in setting up activities, chatting with attendees, encouraging participation, and helping to create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels included.

    You don’t need any prior experience in the activities we run just a positive attitude, a willingness to get involved and an open mind.

    If you enjoy meeting new people, trying new things, and making a genuine difference in your community, we’d love to hear from you.

    The Skills you will need:

    • Friendly and approachable
    • Able to take instructions
    • Reliable and patient
    • Able to work as part of a team
     

    As a weekly activity support volunteer, you will need to provide us with two references and a DBS. By volunteering with us you will be helping local people with a learning disability have fun, learn new skills through activities, and you will be making a huge difference!

  • Benefits

  • What's in it for you:

    • Full volunteer induction and training
    • Agree out of pocket expenses to be paid (eg. travel)
    • Meet new people and be part of a team
    • Learn new skills
    • Feel supported, appreciated and valued
