I Want to Volunteer
as a Move Mate in York
We are actively recruiting volunteers for our fantastic Move Mates project in York.
Are you compassionate, a good communicator and empathetic to people from all walks of life? This could be for you! Can you give an hour or two a week to walk and talk with someone, and make a 3 month minimum commitment?
Our Projects
Wellbeing Walks
Our volunteers lead group walks which are more about the socialising and fresh air than the walking!
Wellbeing Walks enable people to socialise with each other in a friendly, unpressured setting. This increases confidence among participants and brings people together, providing an opportunity for people to make connections in their local community, which in turn tackles social isolation.
These group walks are up to a mile in distance, and the pace is very gentle, with plenty of opportunity to take a break, sit and natter.
