I am a project worker for a local charity, i want to find people who will be interested in building a friendship with someone in their community.
Many people do not have the luxury of having close friends or someone to support them when times are difficult, citizen advocacy attempts to change this by providing a personal relationship with someone who can support and provide guidance in times of need. There are many people in Edinburgh that have no one in their life, are isolated from society and the only people they interact with are paid staff. We are trying to help this by recruiting responsible members of the public to become citizen advocates. We then match them with people who are labelled as having a learning disability and have issues going on in their live that they need support with.
Is this something you would be interested in?
