Visits will be in the home, and there is always support staff around if you have any questions. You will be introduced to each other by a member of Mencap volunteering team and staff who know him well.

In this volunteer role, you will not only be providing a valuable social visit to this man, but also honouring the wishes of his parents.
When & where do I need to be available? Visits will be every 2 months and can be during the week or weekends. Visits will last around 0.5 - 1 hour.
