Come and join us and be a visitor!
As part of the Mencap Visiting Service we are looking for a volunteer to visit a older gentleman who has learning disabilities.
He is a quiet gentleman who enjoys to spend time relaxing at home, going out and about to local cafe's and shopping. He loves cars, coaches and cake! He enjoys going out and about with support, in particular local cafés.
He is looking for a visitor who is very relaxed, calm and patient who can chat with him about cars and family. You will be introduced and get to know him with our support. Initial you will visit him at home and then when you get to know each other you will go for a stroll or visit a local café together.
By visiting every other month, you will both make a huge difference.
When & where do I need to be available?
