Volunteer Group Facilitator

We are looking for a volunteer to support a well established Parkinson's UK group, monthly meet up in Torquay. Parkinson's UK call this role 'Cafe Coordinator' and this is the role title listed on our website.

The current lead volunteer is in need of some support in order for the group to keep going, otherwise the group is likely to close at the end of this year.

The monthly meet-up is for anyone affected by Parkinson's. Family members, carers and friends are all welcome. Connect with others, pick up some information, enjoy a complimentary cuppa, a chat and a few giggles! 

We are looking for a volunteer to facilitate and host the event bi-monthly (or more or less!)

Sometimes there are guest speakers but the group is very informal and is ultimatley a space for people to come together for a cup of tea and biscuits, to gain community and support from other people.

The drop in takes place on 3rd Thursday of month, 1-2 pm. The volunteer would need to arrive at 12.45pm to esure the room is ready and to meet and greet people as they arrive.

Tea and coffee is provided by the venue and people make a donation to the venue for this.

If you are interested in giving something back to your community and supporting this wonderful group to continue we would love to hear from you. We would then like to meet up to discuss the role further (no formal interview).

You will be supported through the volunteer induction process by a Parkinson's UK staff member who will be there to make this as easy as possible for you.
