Volunteering Opportunities

Are you a good listener? Can you spare a couple of hours a week?

At Carers’ Support (Bexley) we are regularly looking for volunteers to join “In Touch” our support service offering emotional support and friendship to carers and ex-carers. Volunteers usually meet people in their own homes or at another mutually convenient venue or they may keep in touch by telephone.

Volunteers are asked to attend an informal interview prior to an induction training course (usually three morning sessions of 3 hours) and are paid out of pocket expenses ie fares or mileage.

If you are interested or would like further information please contact Felicity Packard on 020 8302 8011 or email: felicity@carerssupport.org

We regret that we are unable to offer placements to trainee counsellors but welcome anyone wishing to improve their listening skills to apply to become an “In Touch” volunteer.
