VOLUNTEERING
Our volunteering scheme is developed primarily for Brighter Futures customers, for example, people who have learning disabilities, or people who have experienced issues such as homelessness, mental ill health, substance misuse, or offending behaviour.
HOW CAN I HELP ?
This aims to help people get back into to their community while gaining new skills, building confidence, and developing a sense of self-worth. But everyone has a different reason for volunteering, some may include:
- Supporting others to live fulfilled lives
- Gaining valuable work experience that can be used as a reference for future employers
- Accessing Brighter Futures’ Training and Development Programme
- Meeting new people
- Engaging with the local community
