Volunteer Opportunities

Want to get out more? Want to make new friends? Learn some new skills?

Why not come and volunteer for Active for Life. We can offer support and training and a friendly welcoming environment to help volunteers reach their full potential and build worthwhile transferable skills.

Volunteer Walk Leaders

We are looking for volunteer walk leaders to run group walks in various locations around the city. Group walks are for people who lack the confidence or skills to walk on their own. Walk leaders participate in pairs and full training will be given. Many walkers have learning difficulties or specific health conditions such as heart problems or diabetes.

Activity Buddies

Activity buddies work one to one with people who lack the confidence or motivation to access physical activity opportunities. Training will be given. It is anticipated that volunteers will utilise physical activity opportunities which they are already engaged in rather then being introduced to new activities, as they will need to have a degree of knowledge and confidence in the activity in order to motivate the client.

The Do-it web site has details of these opportunities and many more. For more details of our opportunities contact Active for Life or The Volunteer Centre.
