Join to apply for the Befriender Volunteer role at Mountain Financial Printing & Design Group
We are currently looking for volunteer befrienders at our supported living service in Blackburn for adults with mental health needs. 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. The role can involve meeting regularly to have a cup of tea and a chat or maybe going for walks, trips to a local café, or supporting somebody to attend their appointments.
We can be flexible on days and times in line with the needs of our Service Users.
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.
