About us
We understand that people with a learning disability want to volunteer just like everyone else, but sometimes need a bit of extra help to get started.
We also know that everyone has different abilities and needs, so we make sure we treat people as an individual and support each person in a way that best suits them.
Why Volunteer?
There are lots of good things about volunteering.
