Volunteering Matters latest response to COVID-19
SAFE is a peer led project that aims to help young men with learning disabilities and autism aged 16-25 become more aware of safe relationships and sexual health. We are looking for peer volunteers to help facilitate workshops and work with young people to help develop their knowledge and confidence.
SAFE volunteers will receive training in sexual health and safer relationships. Each volunteer will receive ongoing support through development reviews and be encouraged to progress and gain as many skills as possible. Many free training opportunities are available to our volunteers. All volunteers will be registered with the Torfaen Mayors Award and the highly regarded Millennium Volunteers Awards.
