Include is a charity whose aim is to improve the lives and rights of those with speaking and communication disabilities. Through the use of non-verbal communications and various activities, we provide an invaluable service to many people in Surrey, whatever their ability to speak is.

You will be supporting Include.org in delivering Sign and Stroll sessions by aiding our disabled members through providing them access to transport to and from various locations around Surrey.  We are based in Redhill, so the locations are often in surrounding area's.

You will also have the opportunity to participate in the Sign and Stroll sessions where you will enrich and improve the lives of those who need it. It will also give you experience of using various forms of non-verbal communications such as Makaton, which not only provides you with a new skill but an eye opening experience into how many people live their lives alongside their struggles.
