We are currently looking for volunteer befrienders at our Cecil Garden service in Hull, if you have a couple of hours to spare and can commit to volunteering on a regular basis, we?d love to hear from you. Are you a warm and chatty person, who?s also a good listener? We are looking for befrienders who can help someone gain confidence and engage with the local community. Maybe going for walks, trips to a local café, or, supporting somebody to attend their appointments. Our volunteer befrienders will also encourage people to connect to our internal community here at our service, which includes a wide variety of activity sessions held in several communal spaces on site. As part of our Wellbeing service we are hoping to build a community amongst our Service Users and you will visit service users in their flats and encourage people to join in our activities and take part in events held here. Volunteer Duties: ? Meet on a regular basis ? Follow safeguarding procedures, and report any concerns ? Develop a friendship and enjoy conversations together whilst respecting boundaries. ? Complete any training provided ? Attend regular volunteer supervisions with your volunteer supervisor.
