South Wilts Mencap is a well-established charity that has been supporting the learning disability community in Salisbury and South Wiltshire for over 60 years. We are always looking for friendly, enthusiastic people to join our team.
Do you want to make a real difference in people’s lives? Do you have a few hours a week to give that could help others, make new friends, learn new skills, and have fun?
We are looking for positive, compassionate, and caring individuals to support people with learning disabilities to live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. Volunteering with us is a rewarding way to contribute to your community, gain new experiences, and meet people who share your interests and values.
Volunteering at South Wilts Mencap offers you the chance to change lives — including your own. Every hour you give helps create brighter futures for people with learning disabilities, while also giving you the chance to grow, connect, and discover new strengths. Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and your contribution truly matters.
Our clubs and activities welcome people with mild to profound learning disabilities in Salisbury and South Wiltshire, from age 12 upwards. Volunteers are at the centre of making these sessions possible — helping to run clubs, support activities, and provide one‑to‑one support where needed.
Are you looking for extra hours in the evening? Are you friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable? Do you want to help create happy, safe, and fun experiences for others?
If so, we’d love to hear from you. We have volunteering opportunities across all of our clubs, where you’ll be part of delivering activities, social events, and opportunities for learning and growth. Every role is rewarding, and each one offers the chance to get involved, meet new people, and make a real difference.
