Can you help us in South Tyneside?
We are particularly looking for volunteers to help us at our drop in groups in South Shields and Boldon. These are friendly and welcoming sessions that give people with learning disabilities and autistic people the chance to get together, make new friends and take part in activities. If you are confident at at chatting with individuals and groups and possibly interested in providing individual support such as supporting with appointments, phone calls and travel please get in touch. Sessions take place on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and training will be provided.
