Volunteer with WDP

Our team of around 200 volunteers play a very important role working alongside paid members of our team; without our volunteers we would not be able to operate our services as effectively as we do.

We have voluntary support from a range of people, young and not so young, including trustees, none executive directors, staff, their families, friends and the general public. They are actively involved in over 25 volunteering opportunities including:

• Fundraising and community engagement (weekdays, evening or weekends)
• Main office (Admin and telephone switchboard)
• Learning Centre (computers, arts and crafts)
• Equipment showroom and mobility and independent living store
• Shopmobility
• Pain management groups
• Peer support – using your experience of living with a disability to help other people who have a similar condition
• Galleries Community café
• Luncheon clubs (young disabled people and older people)
• Mobility workshop and service centre
• Santa's Grotto
• Recycling service
• Van drivers and driver’s assistants
• Disability Awareness Day (Steward, Sports or Arts Assistants, admin, litter pickers)
