f

suitable volunteers or arranges facilitation help, maintains contact and provides Ongoing support. Members (adults with physical disabilities whom the charity has accepted on to the project) decide what they want to do. It might be a social activity e.g. board games, visits to the cinema/theatre or something in and around the house - cooking, gardening etc. Some will be interested in taking up art or music and many will want to learn IT skills or educational interests. Others take up a sporting activity such as swimming. Volunteers are sought locally and matched with a Member; they will be asked to help their disabled Member ona one to one basis either by visiting them at home or by taking them out depending on the pursuit. As our Members are considered vulnerable, all Volunteers have to undergo an enhanced DBS check and obtain 2 references before meeting the Member. These DBS checks are renewed every 3 years. Members are placed on the social list whena lasting relationship has been made with their volunteer and they have largely achieved the outcomes they wanted at the start of the relationship. By moving members to the social list, this enables the coordinator to accept new members and find and match new volunteers with that member. However, social list members are still invited to any events that the charity undertakes. Enrych Berkshire has successfully introduced many physically disabled people to a wide spectrum of volunteers with outcomes that not only bring colour

, f

and enjoyment to their lives but also
increase their wellbeing.

Sadly BC had a bad fall and has had some
time where she cannotgo out forwalks.
Once BCwas homefrom hospital, our
volunteer continued to visit and they have
enjoyed learning about different cultures
and politics amongst many other topics.
They bring big smiles to each other.

Member (PN) suffers with chronic nerve

volunteer was visiting her athome to do
craftswith herwhich is a hobby of both of
theirs.
It means PN can do more without

has lost all confidence to go out on her own due to pain increase which makes it very hard to continue. Having somebody to sit and rest with gives a huge comfort. This partnership has finished at the end of the financial year due to volunteer family commitments.
