About Opportunity

Many volunteers with higher support needs require some support in order to fulfil their placements. This support can take many forms: helping with their travel; overseeing their tasks and generally assisting as required. We are currently looking to recruit people who would help someone less able but this would also bring a sense of self satisfaction to you and the person with extra support needs.
