Description

Would you like to be part of a project which helps young people with learning disabilities reach their potential through everyday activities? Fairway Fife is looking for adults and young people to become involved in essential roles behind the scenes. In particular they are looking for assistance with administration. This is an essential role with the project and can give volunteers the chance to use existing skills or gain real experience for work while supporting a life-changing project.

Organisation aims and objectives

Fairway Fife is a Peer Mentoring Charity involving people with learning disabilities from 16 years of age. Our aim is to encourage and support access to social and leisure facilities within our local communities, enabling our members to strive towards living their dreams through the support of their peers, who have similar interests. We want to make a positive difference by recruiting professionally supported committed volunteers who can support our members on their exciting journey. By using a variety of activities as a vehicle, caring relationships can be formed and both members and peer mentors' lives may be enhanced from the benefits gained, helping them all to achieve their highest potential.
