Independence Session

The Orpheus Centre is a specialist further education college and charity working to support young disabled adults, who are passionate about the arts, to achieve their potential and lead independent lives.

Set up by musician and songwriter Sir Richard Stilgoe, Orpheus offers learning, supported housing and personal care on the same site in Godstone, Surrey.

Through volunteering with us you will gain a greater sense of purpose and help our learners to reach their potential through their chosen subject. You will support, encourage and motivate learners walking in the countryside and on trips out. You will also assist tutors with ad-hoc tasks to support the delivery of lessons.

What skills do I need?

If you are someone who is reliable, an excellent communicator, have a friendly and enthusiastic personality and committed to helping, as well as being kind and caring, then this could be the role for you.

You will have a mentor who will help and guide you when you first start volunteering at Orpheus.
