Volunteer Independent Visitor
5 months ago
Overview:
If you want to volunteer, have fun, and make a difference to a young person's life, this is the perfect volunteer opportunity. Become an independent visitor for child or young person living in foster care in the Goole/Howden area of East Yorkshire
**Responsibilities**:
An independent visitor is a volunteer who befriends and visits a young person living in the care of the council such as in a residential unit or foster care. Young people are usually aged between 5 and 18 years.
We ask that you can give a young person a few hours per month for a minimum of two years. This is because you will play an important part in the young person's social, emotional, and educational development.
Activities can involve anything from football in the park, seeing the latest films or other things you both want to do. Budget and travel expenses are provided each month.
Quotes from Young People
"My Independent has a great sense of humour, she’s like me and gets my humour - she always laughs at my jokes. She’s never sad, and always cheerful, listens to what I say and what I want to do.
“He’s reliable and doesn’t let me down."
"She has helped me with my confidence a lot. I don’t know why - she just does. I think it is because we get on, I don’t have to pretend to be someone else and I can just be myself around her."
