Get Involved

If you would like to become more closely involved with the residents and day workers in their daily work areas at the centre and would like to volunteer your time on a regular basis, there are opportunities to become involved in the daily work programmes.

We currently need help in our WOODWORK department and welcome any volunteers for this area.

We have regular volunteers who have been part of the centre for years, and have fondly become entrenched in the lives of our residents.

Please contact us to discuss where you feel you want to make a difference.

Be the change.

Are you a sports person, and doing a fantastic event? Or having a special birthday? Start your own fundraising campaign and do your part for a cause.

Create a campaign on Givengain and ask your friends and family to make a pledge, or donate to charity in lieu of a gift. Check the leaderboards for the campaign.

By raising funds for Horizon House, you help us to holistically care for our residents and day workers, and make a difference in their lives.
