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!

Our resident also enjoys cooking, and playing board games and card games, and has asked that their befriender volunteer enjoys the same activities and can take part in these activities together during their volunteering sessions.
