Event Supporter - Headway Highland
Ref 40 - 1897
This Scottish charity (SC 023551) based in the Highlands, affiliated to Headway – the brain injury association, is going through a crucial stage of development. A recent skills audit of the current trustees identified a need for more volunteers of various experiences.
The charity’s objectives include improving the welfare of people who have suffered brain injury and to provide support to their carers. The group is currently expanding its services to areas outwith Inverness, support groups have now been established in Fort William and Caithness. Further groups are planned for Skye, Oban and Ullapool before the end of 2013.
Headway Highland is looking for cheerful and outgoing people to join them at occasional fundraising events or social gatherings. No special skills are needed just being able to provide a sympathetic understanding to those with a brain injury, be non-judgemental, like to have a bit of fun and can organise activities when necessary.

Shopping Buddy - Leonard Cheshire
Ref 40 - 1894
Cheshire house provides accommodation and support within self-contained flats for 16 adults with physical and learning disability. On a weekly basis each individual is supported to do their weekly shopping, this time is not only used to shop it is also time to socialise so it is a key part of each person who uses the services week.
Successful volunteers would have the opportunity to buddy people who use the service to local shops or if a driver’s license is held, further afield. Although weekly shopping is the main purpose of the outing it is 1-1 time that volunteers can form relationships with people who use the service.
If wishing to do so a volunteer can work alongside staff assisting with menu planning for the week and help to promote our ethos of healthy eating.
