About Live Well in Braunton

Live Well in Braunton Community Interest Company (CIC) is dedicated to connecting and supporting people to live healthier and happier lives. Volunteering is a cornerstone of our mission, and we believe volunteers are essential to making a real impact on the lives of vulnerable individuals in our community.

The Role: Start Out Volunteer

Our "Start Out Volunteer" program is designed for those who wish to provide short-term support with everyday tasks outside the home, helping individuals become more independent and engaged with the community. This role is ideal for first-time volunteers or those who cannot commit to long-term volunteering.

What Does a Start Out Volunteer Do?

Start Out volunteers assist with a variety of tasks, including:

• Supporting access to community activities
• Acting as a buddy on wellbeing walks
• Providing transport companionship
• Writing postcards of cheer
• Helping in the Community Garden
• Shopping for those unable to do so
• Assisting with Live Well in Braunton’s community events

These tasks are time-limited and focused on providing practical support outside the home environment.

Who Can Volunteer?

We welcome volunteers over 18 who have:

• A passion for helping people
• The ability to act with compassion and impartiality
• An understanding of the importance of maintaining boundaries and supporting our policies
