Volunteers wanted for Tarka Line Creatives, a creative project in collaboration with One Northern Devon and part of Devon County Council's "Connecting You" activity, tackling loneliness with transport. All expenses will be paid including travel and refreshments.
From December 2022 to April 2023 we will be working with 4 separate groups falling into the age demographics of either 16-24s or Over 55s. We will be travelling from Barnstaple on the Tarka Line Railway and disembarking at a different station for each of 3 sessions. We will walk, talk, take photographs and work on some creative writing. Each session will end with a friendly sharing over hot drinks. The fourth sessions will be where 2 groups come together to plan the final exhibition.
As we will be outdoors, walking, a relevant level of mobility and fitness is required. Walks will be in the countryside along lanes and paths and approximately 1 hour or 2 hours.
Volunteers will just be helping hands, no experience necessary. They will play the part of a second leader in case the group needs to split up on excursions. There is no need to commit to all dates (see below), odd days here and there will be fine.
