Task

A volunteer is required to support a young man in his mid-twenties who is very keen to have the support and friendship of a volunteer. He has autism but that doesn’t hold him back. He enjoys being active, likes swimming, long walks, might like to try running if his volunteer can guide him in this. He also likes the cinema and eating out in a restaurant/café after a long walk.

He is quite independent, he works three days per week, travels independently and manages his own money. He likes to have a weekly routine and stick to it. So his preferred time for this support would be Monday morning for approx. 3 hours but he can also be available Monday afternoon or on Tuesdays. He prefers one to one company rather than big groups. We hope that these social outings will strengthen his confidence and social skills.
