Supporting Voluntary and Community Action
We find volunteers to befriend disabled children with to prevent social isolation and promote fun. The volunteers are interviewed and police checked and we ask them to commit for a year. We carefully match them to a child whose interests are similar. The volunteer works either in the home on a one-to-one basis or takes the child out into their local community. By doing this the carers receive a short break from their caring responsibilities therefore reducing stress and fatigue.
