Volunteering at Flint House has been a regular activity for our local Specialist SEN School, Brookfields, for the last 10 years and we are so grateful for all the support the students give to our staff and patients.
Our charity provides volunteering and work experience opportunities in our operations teams; with students getting involved in the kitchen, dining room and gardens once a week throughout the year. As well as learning new skills, the students also say that the experience helps them with teamwork, communication and problem solving.
The Employment Engagement Team from the school report that 'The team at Flint House have been incredibly welcoming, supportive and kind to our students, taking the time to understand their individual needs and helping them feel comfortable in a new environment. This nurturing approach has had a significant impact, enabling students to build confidence, develop independence and feel valued as part of a real workplace. Through these placements, students have benefited from positive role models, clear routines and encouragement'.
We would like to thank all the students, past and present, for their support this Volunteers' Week.
