Why get involved?

As well as helping us improve the services you receive…

• It’s your chance to make sure you get the services and the standards you pay for
• You’ll do something positive and help resolve issues benefitting you and others in your neighbourhood
• It’s the perfect way to find out you’re good at something and develop new skills
• It can boost your chances of getting paid work as you develop knowledge and skills (and looks good on your CV!)
• You can share your skills with others
• You’ll be doing something different and keeping your brain active – from the comfort of home or out meeting and sharing a cup of tea with new people
• It’s a great way to meet new, likeminded people and spend more time with the people you know (bring a family member or a friend!)
• You’ll be doing something you believe in and get recognition for your work from us and others around you
• You can get help with travel expenses and childcare costs
