About the volunteering opportunity
Benedict, a 40-year-old, friendly and sociable gentleman, lives in a shared flat for people with intellectual disabilities in Kreuzberg and is looking for a committed leisure partner. He is looking forward to company and support with various activities. He would like to go to a café, go for a walk in the park, go on short trips, play board games or UNO. He works from Monday to Friday in a workshop for people with disabilities until 1 pm.
The volunteering can take place flexibly from Monday to Friday between 2 pm and 8 pm. For volunteers who work full-time, it would be a good option to volunteer from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., for example. Benedict also has plenty of time at the weekend and is happy to receive visits.
Benedict likes to talk and would be happy to watch European Championship matches together. Do you also like soccer and would you like to spend time with Benedict?
