The centre's social car scheme allows volunteers to help others in their community, while also getting paid for their expenses.

The centre is also on the lookout for minibus drivers and passenger assistants.

The volunteers would take individuals to lunch clubs, outings, and shopping trips, helping them engage in social activities.

The centre believes these roles are vital in helping to reduce loneliness and isolation in the community.

It offers a wide range of volunteering opportunities, all of which can help enhance mental wellbeing, social skills, and community ties.
