    I volunteer as a telephone advisor for Devon Carers.  Silverline and Age UK are always looking for telephone befrienders.  You get good training and support.  Good for you!  <3

    I worked in my local British Red Cross charity shop for 3 and a half years and loved it. My Dad said it has made me a more confident person. I also made loads of great friends working in the shop.

    Hi Ichika! I suggest getting in touch with Senploy. They specialise in Special Education Needs & Disabilities content and promoting the workforce there. They've recently started taking volunteers, giving everyone a chance to have their voices heard through blogging. :smile: https://www.senploy.co.uk/
