Would you like to help the community in Thaxted? Our members come to the Centre on Mondays and Thursdays – we are centrally located in Thaxted near the Tennis courts (with parking). We offer recreational and social activities to promote and increase independence; and the active social environment offers many additional benefits. Members are supported by volunteer helpers. We have a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere; our members enjoy coming to meet with other people and engage with a variety of people. Volunteers greet and meet members on arrival; help people settle and get comfortable; and provide general assistance as and when required, including helping with crafts. We organise and host outings, and everyone (members and volunteers) has the opportunity to join outings several times a year. We also host regular fundraising events such as coffee mornings, craft fairs, and tabletop crafts at village events. First aid training is not essential, as we offer training on an annual basis (certificate provided). We also offer Safeguarding training. There is no personal care or manual handling required from our volunteers. Skills
