| Description of Voluntary Work: |
Vitalise (formerly Winged Fellowship Trust) is a national disability charity providing breaks for disabled adults, children and their carers at five accessible UK Centres. We also provide holidays for visually impaired people.
The five Vitalise Centres - Sandpipers in Southport, Skylarks in Nottingham, Jubilee Lodge in Essex, Netley Waterside House in Southampton and Churchtown in Cornwall - need volunteers all year round, but particularly in the spring and autumn. Residential volunteers usually help for a week or two at a time. The weeks run from Saturday to Saturday (or Wednesday to Wednesday at Churchtown only).
Be prepared for hard work and pretty long hours. We want to give our guests as much opportunity to have a good time as possible and you play an important role providing support and independence. There's a lot of socialising and helping on outings and activities, as well as providing basic personal care on an individual basis. You won't be asked to provide intimate care or undertake any task you feel uncomfortable with.
