SOS Bus Night time Volunteer

SOS Bus NI

This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.
Night-time services volunteers work alongside an experienced team to provide caring, welfare and medical support to vulnerable clients on a Friday & Saturday night in Belfast City Centre. Our aim is two-fold; firstly, to relieve the pressure off the emergency services and A&E departments so that they can give their valuable time to individuals who need it and secondly, to ensure that anyone who is in need, alone or suffering has a Safe Space to turn to in the form of SOS Bus. We reunite people with friends and family, transport clients to hospital or to a place of safety and support homeless clients or those living with mental health issues or suicidal thoughts. Sometimes all that people need is a cup of hot soup and a listening ear.

Telephone Social Group Volunteers

Deafblind NI part of Deafblind UK

This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.
Come and join the fun …. We need friendly, outgoing and welcoming volunteers to assist at our regular online group meet ups.
Our members really enjoy getting together having a good chat about all sorts of things and, here at Deafblind UK, we hold regular meetings where our members get together over the phone.
Could you give an hour or more at a regular time, once a fortnight, to help connect our members (many of whom manage their sight and hearing loss alone)?

Dual sensory loss can be isolating and lonely, however getting people together to enjoy each other's company goes a long way to tackling this.
