Our service users love to go out walking and we’d like to set up a weekly walking group. We are looking for a volunteer to act as leader for the group and map out interesting local routes to enjoy some fresh air around the parks of Hinckley and the surrounding area.
As part of your role, you will:
1. Plan the route of the walk, ensuring comfort breaks are included.
2. Ensure the walk is accessible for all by adapting the pace when necessary, so that all participants enjoy the walk and can join in.
3. Include health and safety and risk assessments in your planning.
4. Help to promote the walking group to service users by encouraging and motivating them to attend.
As a volunteer with Creative Support, we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer support network group on Zoom.
Bosworth House is a supported living service for adults with mental health needs, currently accommodating eight tenants in thirteen flats. It is centrally located in Hinckley and has good transport links.
If you would like to discuss volunteering with us, the role you’re applying for, or your application form, you can contact our Volunteer Department at 0161 236 0829 or email volunteer@creativesupport.co.uk.
