Do you want to help people with a learning disability, severe mental illness or autistic people to get more active? Can you spare a few hours a week either on a Monday or Tuesday to attend an activity with a disabled person? Can you travel around Sheffield on public transport? If so, we would love to hear from you!
You might go to a walking group, a zumba class, chairobics, or another fitness session with an adult who has been referred to our service.
You will do this with the same person over a few weeks, offering them short term support to get active. You can be matched with as many or as few people as you wish. We would ask you to expect to be available to volunteer for at least six months.
Your expenses will be paid, and you will be given training and ongoing support.

We won’t be asking you to drive, do personal care, go to other appointments with people, or go inside anyone’s home.
This is a great opportunity to support people to Get Active who might otherwise not do so. it will be a rewarding experience where you will be a valued volunteer for Disability Sheffield. You will learn about disabilities, develop your skills, meet new people, and discover different areas and communities in Sheffield.
