Transcription

1 March 2017 Volunteering at Bridge We currently have 47 individuals giving their time and skills to support our services, with our new recruits due to start in the next few weeks. Since April 2016, 10,438 hours were given by our volunteers, which is an amazing contribution! Bridge are lucky to have some excellent volunteers, who are engaged and enthusiastic in their roles and who are making a difference to the service, to themselves and to the lives of service users. Interested in volunteering? The first stage of becoming a volunteer is to complete an application form. You will then be invited to meet with myself and another team member so we can learn a bit more about you, and you can ask us any questions. Working in partnership with Shipley College, a Level 1 and 2 qualification in Adult Social Care is provided to support people interested in volunteering to in gain skills and experience for their chosen role. Roles at Bridge are varied, and so is the training! And don t worry if you haven t worked or studied for a while, there is lots of support available everyone has potential! The next course will be starting in April, and runs on Mondays and Thursdays until July. If you would like to know more please contact me, it would be great to hear from you!
