As a volunteer, you'll help welcome members, support activities such as games, discussions and crafts and help create a positive and inclusive environment.

Castle Vale is home to many of our Forward Carers events, where we support autistic people, families and carers throughout the year, so it was wonderful to be part of such a well-attended community event.
