Volunteer with CoCo

The success of Cleobury Mortimer’s longstanding befriending project lies firmly with our fantastic volunteers. Our wonderful team make their regular visits to those who need them most and experience much fulfilment in the process. We feel passionately that those who wish to remain in their own homes can often do so with a good support network. A befriender can be an important part of that network, providing additional companionship and support in a long week.

No two volunteers have the same experience…

A CoCo volunteer is somebody who:
 
  • Enjoys to listen as well as chat
  • Can show patience and understanding
  • Has compassion for others
  • Has 2 hours a week free time

To make it easy and practical for you to offer your time we provide:
 
  • initial training
  • travel expenses
  • quarterly group supervision & support
  • on-going training and development opportunities

It's wonderful to be involved with this inspired project and to see the enjoyment of volunteers and clients alike. The free support we can offer those in need from the very heart of our own community is increasingly important. We look forward to welcoming ever more volunteers to meet the growing number of clients, as the project continues to flourish.

Feedback

I have found it so fulfilling and have been working with some wonderful people in the Compassionate Communities team.

Being a volunteer has been a lovely way of giving back to the Cleobury Community.

I can have a break from caring, knowing my husband is well looked after and enjoying himself.

Family member

CoCo has supported my husband and me as his carer. There is someone there to listen now and to help us to cope with a complete change of life.

Family member

CoCo gives Dad another source of conversation and interest outside the family.

The CoCo volunteer helped dad through difficult times. No words express.

I didn’t think this was for me, but I was wrong!

Client

I have a very well matched volunteer, we get on very well and I look forward to her visits.

Client

I was already feeling very low when my volunteer came visiting me, but later when my husband died, I couldn’t have got through it without her.
