Wellbeing Project Support Volunteers

We found that there are people in Bridgwater and surrounding areas who are lonely, or feeling insecure, or are bored, or finding things financially difficult and they just need somewhere to go where they feel safe, secure and warm and have someone to talk to. We have extended our Wellbeing Wednesdays to Wellbeing Mondays as well in response to need. These sessions are proving popular and successful. All are welcome to these sessions. We need more volunteers to help us move forward with this. We have a proposed plan of activities we wish to introduce over the next six week, see below. As you can see there are all sorts of talents that can be applied to ensure the sessions are valuable to the users. If you are interested in positively supporting people, please get in touch.

The hours are 10.30 am to 2.30 am Mondays and Wednesdays.
