Creative Support provides health and social care for people with support needs across England. 
A lot of the service users are, in some way, socially isolated, so to help the service users have more social engagement Creative Support have created a befriending referral scheme where service users can refer themselves for a Volunteer Befriender.
Due to the success of this campaign Creative Support are now looking for Volunteer Befrienders across multiple areas in England. Creative Support only ask their Volunteer Befriender’s to commit to 1-2 hours a week of volunteering and in return for their time volunteers receive a number of different benefits.
A Creative Support volunteer can expect:
• A free DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate
• A formal induction and a volunteer handbook
• Access to free training
• Reimbursement of travel expenses
• Flexibility within your role
• A reference for future volunteering or paid opportunities
• Opportunities for development
• Opportunities to feedback and get involved
• Recognition and celebration events
• A fund and rewarding experience
