Become a "Street Outreach" Volunteer
A Street Outreach Volunteer involves joining us on the streets in a variety of outreaches. We provide "Breakfast", "Lunch" and "Night" Outreaches for our friends.
Outreaching is a most rewarding event and allows our volunteers to meet and enjoy the company of the many friends we regularly meet with.
In most cases, the volunteers meet at a central location, the vollies are briefed as to any specifics they should be aware of for the outreach and also any news or information regarding "You Have A Friend".
It is then out to the location where we meet with our friends for a chat, cuppa and something to eat. It is at times like this that we catch up on what has been happening in their lives and perhaps assist in any way with any problems they may have. It often happens that it is at this time that we meet new people both young and old and swapping of stories and getting to know them is what outreaching is all about.
Our Street Outreaches involve all meals and most days and our volunteers assist according to time suitable for them.
A full training course is provided and most volunteers are roistered one day/night a fortnight, depending on their availability.
