Volunteers are recruited and trained to support disabled people on a fortnightly basis. Each volunteer is matched with a disabled person and they work together to achieve specific goals. Volunteers are required to attend a four day training course (one day a week over a period of a month) prior to being matched. Travel expenses are paid and on-going training is provided. |
