Großbritannien CONCUK08 OXFORD MENCAP 2 (OXFORDSHIRE) 14.08.-21.08.2010 DISA 3vols
Deadline for applicants: 1st July 2010!
Each year Oxford Mencap organises holidays for adults and young people with learning disabilities. Around 14–20 campers attend each week with a similar number of volunteers.
WORK: International volunteers will work alongside UK staff and volunteers supporting those on the holidays. This includes helping them with every day activities such as getting up and washing as well as helping them to get the most out of the activities and excursions. Each volunteer is usually allocated to one camper for the day or week and each week the people attending will change. Some campers just want a great companion for the week, others need a bit more support. The camp is packed with outings and activities including sports, games and entertainment. Volunteers also help run other aspects of camp such as cooking, and cleaning as many of the guests attending will not need full time support. Every evening there is an opportunity to talk about experiences in the day and prepare for the next day. Many of the guests at this project have been enjoying these holidays for several years and are likely to show the volunteers what to do!!
ACCOMMODATION: Volunteers will live at the project site in dormitory rooms. Volunteers and disabled campers will all sleep in the same room. Volunteers will need to bring sleeping bags.
LOCATION: This project is based in the glorious Oxfordshire countryside
TERMINAL: London Airport. Oxford train station
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: The majority of the guests on this holiday are reasonably independent and they are all great fun to be around. This project is ideal for someone who is interested in working with people with learning disabilities and has a genuine interest in helping someone to get the most of a holiday. It can involve long hours and a great deal of energy - and sometimes patience. There is a huge emphasis on teamwork as everyone must share in creating a memorable holiday for the guests. Previous experience is not necessary but a willingness to learn is. A letter of motivation and a certificate of good conduct are required. A good level of English is essential. APPLICATIONS FOR THIS PROJECT MUST REACH CONCORDIA BY THE DEADLINE SHOWN.
