In Touch Volunteer
Are you a good listener? Can you spare an hour a week?
At Carers’ Support (Bexley) we are regularly looking for volunteers to join “In Touch” our support service offering emotional support and friendship to carers and ex-carers. Volunteers usually meet people in their own homes or at another mutually convenient venue or they may keep in touch by telephone.
Volunteers are asked to attend an informal interview prior to an induction training course and are paid out-of-pocket expenses i.e. fares or mileage.
If you are interested or would like further information please contact Jo Flitton on 020 8302 8011.
