The volunteer would initially help facilitate our female carers peer support group by supporting a member of staff with the role. The role includes arranging and booking premises for the monthly group, welcoming carers to the group, interacting and listening and arranging speakers that are requested by carers to attend the group on occasion. When the volunteer is confident, staff member would hand over the role to the volunteer.
The Carers Centre provides a range of services aimed at providing practical and emotional support to carers. A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family, friends or neighbours who are ill, disabled or have a mental health or substance misuse problem.
