IHC is New Zealand's leading provider of services for people with intellectual disabilities, advocating for their rights, inclusion and welfare so they can lead satisfying lives in the community. Through IHC's volunteer friendship programme, people with shared interests are matched to spend time together.

This volunteer opportunity involves spending time with a man in Taita who has an intellectual disability and enjoys music, dancing, painting and other crafts. Activities together might include a trip on the train, visiting Fraser Park, short walks, kicking a ball around, watching cricket, board games, painting, or sharing pikelets.

What you'll bring:
• An easy-going, relaxed approach to afternoon visits
• Willingness to complete IHC's induction and orientation programme

You might be a great fit if you are:
• Kind, patient and happy to take things at his pace
• Someone who enjoys music, creativity and gentle activity
