Area Coordinator: Kathryn Kay
There are spaces available on the Ready Trek project during semester two. We're sorry but Trekkers has no spare volunteer places this semester. You can apply for Ready Trek using the form below or pick one up from the Student Activities Centre (1st floor of the Union). The deadline for applications is Monday 6th February at 4pm.
Volunteer spec:
Volunteers need to be friendly, sociable and happy to chat about anything! Just like the Older People projects, it’s really important for you to be reliable as the participants get more out of the projects when they have a rapport with the students. You need to be enthusiastic, outgoing, caring and patient.
Training for volunteers in this Area will include:
Health and Safety
Building friendships
Listening and communication
Activity ideas
Safeguarding vulnerable adults
Trekkers
Project coordinators: Pearl Owusu and Maureen Hills
What: A social project which involves organising trips and activities for adults with learning disabilities. The project means the participants get to mix with a variety of different people and build their confidence. Pizza Hut is a favourite destination!
When and where: Volunteers will meet the minibus on campus and will be dropped off on campus at the end of the project. The project goes out on Wednesday evenings during term time. All the activities take place in the local area.
Ready Trek
Project coordinators: Chris Philo and Owen Johnson-Stewart
What: A social project for adults with learning disabilities. It is similar to Trekkers but includes activities and destinations which are slightly more adventurous such as rock climbing and Xscape. The project helps the participants to grow in confidence and challenge themselves in a safe, supported environment.
When and where: The project goes out fortnightly on Saturdays during university term time. These trips tend to be full days, usually around 10am to 3pm.
How to apply: Fill in the application form below and return to the Student Activities Centre on the 1st floor of the Union or to n.alty@hull.ac.uk. The deadline for applications is Monday 6th February at 4pm. You will be contacted regarding the outcome of your application later on that week.
