Summary
Come and join the fun …. We need friendly, outgoing and welcoming volunteers to help at our regular telephone meet ups.
Detailed description
Our members really enjoy getting together and, here at Deafblind UK, we hold regular meetings where our members get together.
How can you help…?
We are looking for volunteers to support in facilitating small groups to enable our members to make the most of their time together, encouraging chat and opening up discussions so everyone gets a chance to participate.
No previous experience is required but a familiarity with the appropriate technology and having access to a computer, laptop or tablet would be required. A confident, outgoing personality with good communication skills goes a long way too!
Could you give an hour on a Saturday morning or Tuesday afternoon every fortnight to help connect our members, many of whom manage their sight and hearing loss alone? Dual sensory loss can be isolating and lonely, however getting people together to enjoy each other's company goes a long way to tackling this.
We provide full training and ongoing support in this role and ask for a minimum commitment of three months.
