Community Connector Volunteers help people feel welcome, supported and confident when attending activities at Everybody Health & Leisure. Sometimes it’s a warm hello, sometimes it’s a reassuring chat – but it always makes a difference.
As a Community Connector Volunteer, you’ll play a vital role in helping people feel comfortable and confident when they take part in activities at our centres.
For some people, joining an activity can feel daunting. Your support, encouragement and friendly presence can be the difference between someone giving it a go – or walking away. You don’t need specialist skills or experience. Just kindness, patience and a willingness to help others feel at ease.
