Volunteer as a Befriender
As the theme of Learning Disability Week is friendship we are also asking people to sign up to become befrienders. This voluntary role is so crucial to the work we do supporting people with a learning disability and can make a huge contribution to the people we work with. You can read more about the befriending role here Volunteer Befriender Role and if you are interested please call 0151 707 8582 or email volunteering@mencapliverpool.org.uk

ry’s Help through Crisis Programme, the five-year project brings together organisations who specialise in advice, advocacy and crisis support.
