Could you be a volunteer visitor? Spare some time to visit someone 6 times a year and help make a difference to the life of a person with a learning disability.
Detailed description
We are looking for a friendly, patient befriending volunteer to visit a lovely gentleman in New Southgate. He is keen to find an attentive listener who will show an interest in hearing his imaginative stories and will giggle at his jokes. He would love for someone to accompany him to McDonalds for a treat, to join him in a bit of music trivia, or sometimes for just a cup of tea and a chit chat. Visits are 6 times a year (every 2 months).
Please get in touch for further information or to apply.
