Out & About Volunteer at Blackpool Council Volunteers Team : Volunteer Centre Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde

This opportunity involves volunteers spending time with people while their carers have a break. Volunteers can go out with the cared-for-person to follow an interest on a one-to-one basis, or in a group. This will involve volunteering with adults, sometimes with a learning disability or other specific needs. Volunteers are matched with individuals in Blackpool.

Travel expenses will only be paid from within the Blackpool Boundary.

This organisation supports the Volunteer Charter.
