Summary

Would you like to befriend and support a lady with a learning disability who wants to loose weight?

Detailed description

We support a lady with a learning disability in Mencap’s shared house in Letchworth who really wants to lose weight.

 

She loves to go swimming and would like to start going to the gym. She enjoys walking and going for a wander around the shops.

 

As well as sharing these interests you’d be supporting her social life by spending time together.

 

The lady is very friendly and a chatterbox! She would love to have a befriender to share her life with.

 

As a volunteer, you would not need to be an exercise buff, but if you share her interests then you can make a difference.
