We currently have several volunteering opportunities in the Durham area for volunteer Befrienders. If you have a few hours to spare either during the week or at weekends and can commit to volunteering with us on a weekly basis, we'd love to hear from you!
We are looking for befrienders who can help our clients on a one-to-one basis to access their local community. This can include trips to the local cinema to watch the latest films, enjoying a coffee and a chat in the local cafes, watching live music at concerts, or festivals, visits to classic car shows and even further afield such as day trips to the surrounding area in Whitby and York.
We welcome applications from people from all walks of life, all we ask is that you're calm, supportive, friendly and patient to help our clients gain in confidence.
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's peer support group. Together we can make a difference.
Preferred time commitment: Flexible times and days, including evenings and weekends.
If you would like to discuss volunteering with us, the role you're applying for or you application form you can contact our Volunteer Department on 0161 236 0829 or email .
