Overview
UNIQUE Friends Together is a Community Group based in Ayr in the south west of Scotland. Our purpose is to promote inclusivity and integration for young people aged 16 to 30 with additional support needs. We organise and run safe and accessible social events and activities such as discos, karaoke, games, cinema, trips, etc. New people are always welcome to attend our events. The group is run entirely by volunteers and managed by a small committee of five Trustees. Our trustees and event volunteers include parents/guardians of young people with ASN.
We are looking for volunteers who can provide social support and help out at our various social activities and events, for example discos, cinema/movie nights and karaoke. We have regular social events every second Friday evening with occasional activities happening from time to time. These events provide fun, friendship and social inclusion for the young people who come along. We are based in Heathfield Community Centre in Ayr and the events take place there.
Event Volunteers: We are always on the lookout for great event volunteers. Without them we simply would not be able to run our events which benefit so many young people with additional support needs. Our event volunteers encourage and support the young people to participate and develop self confidence.
If you can spare two or three hours every fortnight or even once a month to help out at our events then we would love to hear from you. This is a great opportunity to share your social skills (and dancing skills sometimes! ;-) and make sure our activities are well supported, safe and successful!
