What is this role all about?
The Wraparound Team provides practical support to individuals who need help with a specific, one-off circumstance. This may include tasks such as providing a lift, helping with ad hoc childcare, meals or assisting with simple home or garden maintenance.

Why is this role important?
We all have times when we need some extra support and times when we can support others. Helping someone practically as a one off in a time of need, shows them that they are loved and valued and also gives the volunteer an opportunity to grow in their faith by being active in sharing God’s love.
