Dorset’s disability charity Diverse Abilities is looking for volunteers for the coming year to help with ongoing projects and a series of events.
Volunteering activities include:
- Running stalls at events
- Helping and marshalling at events
- Being part of a cheer crowd for a sponsored run
- Volunteering in our services supporting children and adults with disabilities
- Gardening at The Treehouse, the home of its Short Breaks service in Hurn
- Using a volunteer day at work to do some painting and decorating at one of the charity’s supported living bungalows
Diverse Abilities supports children and adults with profound physical and learning disabilities through services such as Langside School, a specialist school for children aged two to 19 and The Beehive, a therapy and activity centre for adults.
Becky Edwards, Marketing and Volunteers Executive at Diverse Abilities, said: “We’ve got an exciting calendar of events and fundraising initiatives this year where we need the help of our local
community to take on a variety of tasks including running stalls, handing out flyers, helping at events or being part of a cheer squad for running events.
“We also need help in our services to run much needed sessions for children and adults, as well as help with gardening at The Treehouse in Hurn.”
The charity says volunteers are crucial to its work and donating free time is just as valuable as giving money.
