At Valley Farm we offer several activity groups during the week for people with long-term health issues. Some of our attendees need additional support in order to join in and so we are looking for volunteer assistants.

  • Tasks: - Liaising with the attendee to check they’re attending (if the person/people you’re supporting can’t attend, you don’t need to come, but can if you wish to)
