Description:
As part of our project Parks 4 All, we are recruiting Sensory Walk Guide volunteers. These volunteers will lead park walks that support people who may find parks difficult to use. We are recruiting Disabled people and unpaid carers to volunteer as the Guide.
The walks will help people to notice sounds, smells, movement, textures, colours, or simply enjoy being still. This walk is known as a Sensory walk.
What will you do:
• Help plan simple, accessible walk routes
• Welcome people and help them feel safe
• Guide small groups at a relaxed pace
• Talk to people about the walk and discuss how they can be
developed.
We are looking for people that:
• Identify as a Disabled person or an unpaid carer
• Enjoy being outdoors and in parks
• Are friendly and enjoy being with other people
• Like supporting people with different needs
• Interested in leading walks
• You will receive support and training for leading Sensory Walks.
We will offer you:
• Funding for your personal development
• Training and ongoing support
• Any travel, food and equipment you need to volunteer.
• Great experience for applying for jobs
• The opportunity to deliver activities and meet people in your local
community
• Community connection and meaningful experience
• All training and information you will need for the role, including
health and safety training
• Support from your volunteer manager
