    Hi

    My brother has been out of work a while now and he was hoping to maybe do some volunteering work.

    He unfortunately does not drive so can't do meals on wheels, etc unless as a helper with someone who does drive.

    Does anyone know anywhere that would be looking for volunteers?

    I didn't really know where to begin looking so said I would ask here

    Cheers

    There was a thread here not to long ago (within the last year) about someone looking for the same thing IIRC.

    Thanks for that but unfortunately I don't think it would be suitable for him as he doesn't drive and would be relying on a bus service during the day for transport.

    Ideally he would be suited to giving someone a hand doing gardening (wrong time of year I know) or general maintenance. He would be great at helping out with stuff like that.
