MY GUIDE can help give you <strong>the</strong> confidence to go out again, re-engage<br />

with your community, take part in enjoyable activities and increase your<br />

independence without having to rely on family and friends.<br />

Volunteers can guide you to a coffee shop or to a local social club,<br />

however <strong>the</strong>y do not provide domestic services such as opening mail,<br />

cleaning or preparing food.<br />

Volunteers receive thorough accredited training that has been endorsed<br />

by VISION 2020 and all have Criminal Record Bureaux checks.<br />
