Colette Willdigg, advocate/volunteer co-ordinator, said: “The role would appeal to people who believe in human rights, equality and justice.
“By volunteering with us they will receive full training and ongoing support, they can gain new skills and confidence, gain experience in supporting people with learning disabilities and older people and contribute to their local community.”
