As a leading Volunteer Development Agency working for the benefit of local people Keighley & District Volunteer Centre actively seeks to identify local need and to develop services that responds to those needs.
KDVC manages several local projects and currently requires the following volunteers:
Volunteer Mentors.
Provide additional support to learning disabled volunteers( and the organisations they work for) to help establish and maintain mutually valued volunteering placements. We ask volunteer mentors to commit themselves for one day a week to provide one to one support to learning disabled volunteers, until they feel confident to work on their own.

Volunteer Befrienders.
Provide informal companionship to isolated older people living in Keighley and surrounding villages. We ask the volunteer befriender to visit the service user for about one hour per week at a mutually agreed time. All volunteers receive appropriate training and ongoing support.
