Enrych Berkshire is a registered charity that provides support to people with a disability, helping them get access to leisure, social and learning activities.
Right now they are seeking a volunteer for a quiet gentleman who is using a wheelchair since becoming an amputee.
Help them build confidence in going out and tackle isolation.
Social activities could be watching boxing on the TV in the pub, playing pool or even just going out and getting fresh air, it would help so much.
Reading Blind Aid Society was formed in 1883 and then changed to Reading Association for the Blind in 1926 and has supported the sight-impaired people of Reading ever since.
Can you help in their kitchen?
They provide homemade soup and a roll for their Sight Loss Social Club Members.
Previous experience or training would be helpful, but is not essential, as they can provide what you need to know.
The club provides a safe much-needed social environment for members to chat with friends on Tuesdays and Fridays.
