Virtual Buddy Volunteer
Sense Virtual Buddying volunteers make a real difference to supporting young people and adults who may be lonely or isolated.
Sense matches volunteers with disabled people to meet for an hour a week on Zoom or over the phone.
Our volunteers have spent thousands of hours with their buddies — learning new skills, having fun, and forming fantastic friendships.
Sense matches each volunteer with someone who has similar interests, to make sure you have a great time.
You and your buddy choose a time that suits you, and you can decide what activities you’d like to do together.
Here’s what Bethany has to say about volunteering as a Virtual Buddy: “I just know that on a Thursday I’m going to be laughing at the end of my day. It’s a really positive part of my week.”

Local Groups consist of like-minded volunteers who work together to collect tools, sort them and sometimes do basic refurbishment. They generally have access to a garage or two for storage and a large shed or two for sorting. It's a great role for people who enjoy volunteering in a team. If we don't have a Local Group in your area, perhaps you could help us start one!
