Community Group Volunteer - Gosport

We are currently looking for another volunteer to support our Serendipity Community Group in Gosport.

We need organised and passionate individuals who want to support and facilitate Community Groups for autistic adults in their local community. Our groups are designed to help autistic adults to meet in a welcoming and non-judgmental setting. We need friendly and caring volunteers to make this happen.

What you will be doing?

  • Welcome new members to the group and help them settle in.
  • Support members to participate in group activities.
  • Help make suggestions about new group activities.
  • Help send feedback about the group to Autism Hampshire staff.
  • Keep an accurate record of attendance at the group.
