About this opportunity
We have exciting opportunities for volunteers to come along and assist disabled members with various activities. This includes arts, crafts, games, leisure activities, volunteer drivers to mention but a few. There are also opportunities to help with tasks such as driving, escorting disabled people if out on trips etc. You will be made to feel very welcome as we are a very friendly, dynamic group and expanding organisation.
All volunteer assistance is greatly appreciated. This is a great, enjoyable opportunity to help in the local community, make a positive difference and also the opportunity to develop new skills and interests as well.
About Future Choices
“Future Choices was founded in November 2008, due to the day centre “Choices” (Westburn Road) being axed due to local council cuts. The centre provided social inclusion and recreational activities for the disabled community. It also provided respite for the carers. Rather than be left with nothing, a few disabled service users got together and formed the now voluntary run charity to replace a wide gap in the local community. The charity is completely self funded and is now over 10 years old, and still going strong today.
My mother hugely benefitted from getting regular social inclusion, gaining herself independence, self esteem. To have that taken away from her was absolutely wrong. We formed the charity to plug the gap and to continue to provide a vital service to the local community.”
David Forbes, Chairman of Future Choices.
