VOLUNTEER FOR US
You might feel that you would like to get involved by volunteering in one way or another. Volunteering is also a great way to learn about social care and can potentially provide vital experience leading to job opportunities if this is what you are after. There are lots of potential volunteering opportunities such as:
Sharing one of your hobbies with someone who likes it too e.g. going swimming, playing music or going to films etc. by offering some regular time with our Hop Yard Day Services or with someone living in a Supported Living house. You can even volunteer to work on one of our holiday clubs or camps - click here for our latest opportunity!
If you have got time to spare and some interests and/or skills that you would love to share, please email us at info@symbolconnect.co.uk expressing your interest in volunteering. Somebody will contact you to explore how you might best get involved. There's always plenty of great opportunities!
