This is an exciting opportunity to give where you live!

Are you eager to find face-to-face volunteering opportunities that help to reduce isolation in your local area?

Derbyshire Carers Assocation's Social Connectedness Service is the provision of appropriate signposting and/or community & face to face support for Carer’s – to aid them in feeling safe & confident to access their community again and increase opportunities for social engagement.

The role may involve meeting with Carer(s) in the community to provide one to one support, encouragement and company while they take their first steps back into the community. This may be meeting for a coffee to increase confidence leaving the house, or attending a new group or activity together.
