Volunteering has changed over these past few years and virtual volunteering is here for you to try! Find your perfect remote opportunity by becoming a Sense Virtual Buddying volunteer.
The Role of a Virtual Buddy
Sense Virtual Buddying matches volunteers with disabled people who have similar interests to ensure you’ll have lots of fun together. Once matched with a buddy, you will get to know each other remotely through video calls, phone calls, texting, emails or letters. You’ll arrange weekly sessions and plan fun things to do together. You could be playing games, doing arts and crafts, playing music, planting—there are so many possibilities! We will provide you with weekly themed activities to help to support you in planning your interactions with your buddy.
What We Can Offer You
Before you start your volunteering role, we’ll make sure that you’ve had the training you need to feel confident. This will be delivered online and through video calls. While you’re volunteering with us as a virtual buddy, you’ll also get a written account of your volunteering and references ( if required), reimbursement (报销) of pre-agreed expenses ( up to £25), and great opportunities to develop new skills and get to know new people while making a real difference to a person’s life.
Who We Are Looking for
It is essential that volunteers should be good at expressing their ideas and feelings and passionate about assisting people with complex disabilities to fit in with the world. And volunteers who have knowledge or experience of British Sign Language will be prioritized. You don’t need to have previous experience of volunteering or nursing disabled people.
If you have any questions regarding the role or would like some more information, please contact the volunteering team at volunteer@sense.org
