Volunteers Urgently Needed!

August 3rd, 2016

We urgently need volunteers for our Family Support Project. The role is to provide practical domestic support to families who have a child living with the effects of an acquired brain injury. This will include practical tasks such as light housework and/or shopping and help make life a little easier for parents who may be struggling to cope with their caring responsibilities as well as managing the usual household chores.

Volunteers will not be expected to provide personal care or lifting of any heavy objects. All we ask is that volunteers are friendly, reliable and trustworthy.

For more information and a friendly informal chat telephone Jan or Ann on 01642 989116
