Leonard Cheshire Disability's 'Can Do' project has been in existence for more than three years and is funded to enable young adults who have a disability to build confidence and personal development through activities and volunteering. Currently, they are looking for 16-35 years who have an autism spectrum disorder and live in Bristol and the surrounding areas to take part in a new Befriender and Mentoring Programme. Those who either would like to be a Befriender/Mentor or those who would like to have a Befriender/Mentor are welcome to apply. Participants will initially receive training about Leonard Cheshire Disability and what Befriending or Mentoring is. Potential Befrienders or Mentors will need to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. Out of pocket expenses will be paid and ongoing support offered from the Can Do Project Coordinator..
