Read more about the role from our volunteers:

“Hello, I’m Evelyn and my volunteering role is to work with Michael who works for SCFT as a Learning Disabilities Health Facilitation Assistant. I really enjoy coming into Horsham Hospital once a week to help with administrative and other tasks. It is a really rewarding role. We are looking for someone to undertake the same role in Littlehampton, so if this sounds of interest, please apply. I would really recommend volunteering for SCFT as I have found it very fulfilling and enjoy contributing to a fun and hardworking team”.
“Hello I’m Michael. The last three months Evelyn has come onboard have been beneficial and great fun. There is a great opportunity available in Littlehampton for somebody to help someone else and have a great volunteering experience, so why not consider applying”.
