Home Befriender (Enjoy the Great Outdoors with David - Bangor, Northern Ireland)

Our member David lives in Bangor, County Down. He is looking for a friendly volunteer who is available to pay him and his guide dog a visit each week so he can stretch both his and his dog's legs! David is a fan of wildlife and nature and has a keen interest in science and technology. He would love the chance to get out and about with someone who shares the same interests, to enjoy the outdoors and perhaps stop for coffee on the way home.

Ideally, you will be a driver with your own transport, with a genuine interest in other people. A good listener available to make a regular weekly visit.

Do you need experience or specialist skills?

No - simply a genuine desire to help and some spare time on a regular weekly basis. David uses clear speech so additional communication skills are not required. We will ensure you are supported throughout your journey with us, offering training and support at all times. We will also reimburse out of pocket expenses to you and pay for your Access NI check.
