Seeking volunteers

As well as supporting disabled people to live life the way they choose, the work will enable you to master new skills and discover a new side to yourself.

Whether you can spare a few hours a week or support us occasionally, your assistance is really appreciated.

Leonard Cheshire Disability works for a society in which every person is equally valued.

It supports thousands of people in the UK and around the world with physical and learning disabilities.

You can help in many different ways.

Using your IT skills to help a disabled person to write an email or surf the internet, sharing similar interests, supporting disabled people to access sports facilities, gardening, being a shopping buddy or helping out with art or cookery.

The options are almost unlimited.

Across many parts of the country, we are particularly keen to recruit new volunteer drivers, as well as volunteers to support disabled people in the evenings and weekends.

Some people are put off volunteering because they don’t know what to expect or may not know someone who is disabled, but this doesn’t matter.

The most important thing is the willingness to support others and be a part of something bigger.

In return you’ll have fun, meet new people and form lasting friendships.
