Enrych Berkshire is a Registered Charity that provides support to people with a disability, helping them get access to leisure, social and learning activities.
Currently, they have a member who would appreciate somebody to help her in her garden. She is limited to how much she can do so having a volunteer that can do some of the more physical tasks would be incredibly useful.
Someone that is friendly and is happy to chat would be brilliant to help with building her confidence. In the future, as confidence builds, she would like the idea of somebody taking out to enjoy the fresh air in her wheelchair.
