Coffee Morning Befriender Volunteer

We are looking for befriender volunteers who would like to spend time with our residents on a weekly basis.

Initially the befriender role will involve bringing together residents to the communal area and running a coffee morning. Here you will help to set up for the coffee morning, prepare refreshments and provide companionship to the people attending, whilst understanding and respecting boundaries. Once you have built a connection there will be an opportunity to develop the role and spend time in the local community. This could include going for a walk, a trip to a local café, or accessing the local library.

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.

Suggested time commitment: Various times and days available
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 volunteer@creativesupport.co.uk.
