Volunteer to help older people take part in social
activities
We're looking for volunteers to help with our
programme of local, social activities, led by the people we
support.
This new service offers people supported by us the opportunity to
choose and participate in activities they enjoy and to meet other
people in their local areas. We've held afternoon teas,
cinema and theatre trips, lunches, garden centre visits and we're
planning for much more!
There's a range of tasks we need help with, from organising an
event, talking to new participants about their needs or to
just help out on the day to make sure that everyone has a good
time.
At present social activities are only running in selected regions.
If you would like to volunteer to help with our social activities,
contact your area manager (or email volunteering if
you are new to volunteering with us) and we will be able to tell
you whether we are running social activities near you. If we
are not, we offer a wide range of other opportunities for you to
volunteer with us.
Here's an overview of the role and the skills required:

confidence to do the things they love
• Help them to meet new people.
