Volunteer Telford

Luv2MeetU and HFT are a charity working with adults with learning disabilities and or autism to provide a fulfilling and engaging life to ensure the best possible experiences and individual requirements for the people we support.

Luv2MeetU (part of the HFT charity) are starting an exciting new programme of face to face and virtual events based at the HFT Forbes Close supported living housing.

We are looking for volunteers to help support any events involving cooking/baking or helping the people we support to learn how to cook or bake and support them in making their own meals.

We will work with you depending on the time you have to give to ensure you benefit too, either with something special for your CV, training or just knowing that you are helping immeasurably to enhance the lives of the adults we support.

It would be an invaluable skill that the adults we support could learn to make them feel full filled and independent. You could help them create a birthday cake for a friend, bake cheese straws and scones on a cooking event or simply help them prepare a healthy lunch.

We are looking for volunteers to help support any events or hospital/dentist appointments etc. by driving the people we support to where they need to go.

We will work with you depending on the time you have to give to ensure you benefit too either with something special for your CV, training or just knowing that you are helping immeasurably to enhance the lives of the adults we support.

With appointments the date and time cannot be changed so it would be brilliant for us if we could build up a bank of drivers so that we can eventually get to a place where we have a thriving community of adults we support being able to be even more independent whether it is an important appointment or a shopping trip to buy that special birthday present!
