Tasks: Befriend a young person as part of a group and do fun activities together.

This role will start in August as Tag Rugby mentoring. A volunteer will be matched to a young person and they will learn about tag rugby with other volunteers and young people and take part in a game each week.

We hope that the group will remain together and meet weekly to take part in various activities such as indoor soccer, cooking etc after the tag rugby programme finishes.

This will be on site group mentoring and will offer the volunteer a chance to make a young friend as part of a large group as well as meeting and making friends with other volunteers.
