Summary

To provide transport in your own car for Vision Norfolk clients in the Downham Market area to activities, meetings and events.

Detailed description

To provide transport for Vision Norfolk clients to and from activities, meetings and events organised by Vision Norfolk driving their own car.

 

In this role you can act as a driver and just do drop off and pick up, or you can choose to attend the activities as well and support our clients throughout.

 

Current Downham Market Activities include:

·       Archery (1st Monday of the month)

·       Sitdown Fitness (3rd Friday of the month)

·       Coffee Morning (4th Wednesday of the month)

 

There may also occasionally be activities in King’s Lynn where Downham Market based clients want to attend – you will be informed of these in good time.

 

Activity Lists are sent out to volunteers regularly so they have the opportunity to let the Volunteer Coordinator know what they are available for in advance.


Drivers must possess a clean, full category B (car) driving licence. Any volunteer drivers must be aged at least 21 and have possessed their licence for at least two years. If a volunteer is aged over 70, a volunteer must meet the Group 2 medical standards required by the DVLA.

A clean driving licence is preferred, although minor driving convictions may not necessarily preclude a person from volunteering.

Our volunteers must be caring, able to communicate well and enjoy meeting new people, whilst helping our clients to remain as independent as possible.
