| Volunteering Volunteers play an important part in the life of Nottingham Mencap. The range of opportunities is considerable and includes helping in the shop, organising recreational activities, driving on the minibus and accompanying adults on outings. Our volunteers tell us that the rewards more than match the effort and we strive to ensure that we provide the training and opportunities to meet the expectations of new volunteers. We are committed to the personal development of our volunteers through appropriate training and supervision. Being a volunteer offers many opportunities

| There are many different ways to get involved Work coach volunteers The Work Based Learning Project requires volunteers to work as "work coaches" to support the trainees, on a one to one basis, with their basic skills in literacy and numeracy. This includes reading and/or writing for them as necessary. Volunteers will be offered training and development opportunities including the opportunity to follow an accredited course of study alongside the trainee and to attain a certificated qualification. There are no fees and travel costs are also reimbursed. Harpenden House Activity Centre Volunteers Volunteers are always needed to help run various activity and leisure clubs. These clubs offer social and leisure opportunities for children, young people and adults with a learning disability. Members are involved in a range of stimulating activities, including art and crafts, music, dancing, sports and trips out. The centre is well used, but consequently requires a lot of effort to keep the building in a good state of repair. If you can help decorating, gardening or have access to good reliable equipment, then your help is needed. We expect a lot from our volunteers - maturity, responsibility and commitment. In return we offer good support leadership and the opportunity to train for self-development opportunities. Many volunteers develop firm friendships and share a strong sense of achievement and belonging which the society's work inspires. |
