Selby Walking Group Volunteers
Open Country
Description of the role:

Our new Selby Walking Group enables adults with disabilities to enjoy countryside walks of up to 6 miles. The role of the volunteer is to support the disabled members of the group; this may be guiding someone with a visual impairment or just providing general support, assistance and company.

Skills and qualities needed for the role:

Good communication skills, patience and a sense of humour are useful, as well as a love of the outdoors (and being outside in all weathers!). A basic level of fitness is required as the group walks up to 6 miles.

Practical information:

The group meets in Selby on Thursdays at the leisure centre car park, at 10.15am, returning about 4pm. Some 'on-site' training will be provided and volunteers will need to complete some health & safety and safeguarding paperwork prior to joining us.
