Befriending Volunteer

Caring Friends is a partnership project between the Community Volunteering Team and The Unpaid Carers Team at Cardiff Council. This project is looking to recruit a team of volunteers who are passionate about providing friendship and support to Unpaid Carers across Cardiff. 

What we’re looking for: 

• Empathetic people who are passionate about providing support to Unpaid Carers; 

• An understanding about who an unpaid carer might be, or a willingness to learn; 

• People who are warm and friendly, and love building relationships with people; 

• People who love learning new things and are committed to finding out more about services that can help people who are unpaid carers; 

• Access to a phone or computer in order to undertake befriending activities; 

• Someone who is able to commit to a regular volunteering day (at least once a week); 

• An ambassador for Cardiff Council, through following relevant policies and procedures.
