We need volunteers aged 16 and over to help children and young people with physical and/or learning disabilities have fun on one of our evening youth groups at our accessible, specially designed, play and activity centre. Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays from 6.20pm to 8pm. You’ll meet new people and learn new skills! Visit www.ddcaok.com to find out more.
DDCA provides activities and support for children and young people aged 0 to 20 with extra support needs and their families. We look for volunteers aged over 16 to help at one of our evening youth groups for children and yound people - either a Mon, Tues or Friday evening from 6.20pm to 8pm. If you're keen, the next step would be to call us on 826888 to arrange a time to come in for an informal interview. If that goes OK, after a cooling off period when you can read through our policies and procedures, we'll then move onto the paperwork involved, (we seek two written references and a "Protecting Vulnerable Groups" scheme membership before any volunteering commences).
